  • Title: Vascular neurosurgery: aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracranial hemorrhage.

    Abstract:
    Cerebrovascular disease continues to be a major source of morbidity and mortality in our aging population. Endovascular therapy for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms and associated vasospasm is gaining credibility. Some arteriovenous malformations considered inoperable in the past can now be successfully treated using multimodality therapy. Quantitative measurement of cerebral blood flow is helping to identify patients at risk of ischemic events and defining new guidelines for intervention. New noninvasive imaging modalities may replace conventional angiography for surgical disease. Advances in technology continue to improve our ability to treat cerebrovascular disease prior to irreversible ischemic events.
