Purpose Of The Review:
The aim of this review is to give a general overview of anesthetic management, technical considerations and specific complications of interventional neuroradiology based on the most recent literature.
Recent Findings:
In more and more services anesthetists become an integrated part in the management of patients treated with endovascular neurosurgery. More and more centers opt for general anesthesia using less invasive monitoring than with common neurosurgery.
Summary:
Interventional neuroradiology is challenging because of the location and the sudden and acutely life-threatening complications that may occur.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
