[Expert consensus of pre-interventional assessment of non-acute ischemic cerebrovascular diseases in China]

Area of Science:

• Neurology
• Interventional Neuroradiology
• Vascular Surgery

Background:

• Endovascular intervention is a key treatment for cerebrovascular diseases.
• Standardized preoperative assessment enhances procedural safety and minimizes complications.
• A lack of consistent understanding exists regarding preoperative evaluation for non-acute ischemic cerebrovascular diseases in China.

Purpose of the Study:

• To establish an expert consensus on the preoperative evaluation for endovascular therapy in non-acute ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.
• To standardize and improve the safety and efficacy of interventional procedures.
• To address the inconsistent understanding among Chinese experts.

Main Methods:

• A multidisciplinary expert group from the Neurovascular Intervention Group of the Chinese Society of Neurology convened.
• Discussions were held to address the complexities of preoperative evaluation.
• An expert consensus document was formulated based on collective expertise.

Main Results:

• The consensus provides a framework for comprehensive preoperative assessment.
• It aims to standardize the evaluation process across different institutions.
• Key recommendations focus on improving patient selection and procedural planning.

Conclusions:

• This expert consensus offers crucial guidance for the preoperative evaluation of endovascular therapy in non-acute ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.
• Adherence to these guidelines is expected to enhance patient outcomes and reduce procedural risks.
• It serves as a foundational document for neurovascular intervention in China.
