The lateral transpsoas approach to the lumbar spine has become an increasingly popular method to achieve fusion. Although this approach requires less tissue dissection, a smaller incision, decreased operative time,…
Safe and reproducible outcomes of the lateral lumbar intervertebral fusion (LLIF) procedure rely on meticulous care and understanding of the anatomy of the lateral corridor. This review aims to describe…
In this article, the authors review general principles and technical details of preoperative embolization of various hypervascular head, neck, and spinal tumors encountered in contemporary neuroendovascular practice. Indications, treatment goals,…
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) represents one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke worldwide, yet our understanding remains limited regarding the best treatment options for this complex disease with…
Endovascular intra-arterial therapy is reserved for strokes from large vessel occlusion. This article reviews the critical role of the location of the occlusion, extent and characteristics of the occlusive thrombus…
Carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has experienced an astonishing rate of development over the last 2 decades, becoming a viable alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the management of…
Endovascular management has become the treatment of choice for carotid-cavernous fistulas regardless of the fistula type. The endovascular method offers numerous options that render it capable of treating each fistula…
Endovascular embolization is the primary therapeutic modality for intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae. Based on access route, endovascular treatment can be schematically divided into transarterial, transvenous, combined, and direct/percutaneous approaches. Choice…
Endovascular approaches to arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are often necessary to define and help treat these often complex lesions. Angiography provides important information to help plan surgical or radiosurgical approaches. Modern…
Unlike saccular or berry aneurysms, which present more often with subarachnoid hemorrhage, fusiform aneurysms present more often with ischemic stroke or mass effect. The most time-tested treatment of fusiform vertebrobasilar…
