The Clinical Application Of Interventional Neuroradiology

The Interventional Neuroradiology is a kind of clinical medicine, which refers to utilize intravascular catheter operation technology with support of Medical Digital Substraction Angiography System (for short: DSA System) to diagnose and treat lesions in the blood vessels of the human nervous system. It is also called as Neurosurgical Endovascular Therapeutics or Endovascular Neurosurgery. The applications of DSA System are mainly used in the diagnosis and differentiation of cerebrovascular diseases, and intracranial tumors in the head and neck and central nervous system.

The objects of neurointerventional mainly include vascular abnormalities in the brain, meninges, maxillofacial region, neck, eyes, ENT, spine and spinal cord. The main diseases treated are arterial stenosis, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, arteriovenous fistula, acute cerebral infarction and tumors in head and neck.

The treatments of Interventional Neuroradiology are used for identifying the causes of illness of cerebrovascular disease in order to guide treatment and prevention further. To reduce the death and disability rate of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. To reduce the risk of re-bleeding in hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases. And less pain for patients because of small trauma wound.
