Abstract

The field of neurointerventional surgery has grown in recent years. Endovascular therapies for both ischemic stroke and intracranial aneurysms have become important components in the multimodal treatment of these conditions. Familiarity with these treatment options by general neurologists is important for patient care. This article reviews recent trials and devices representing important advances in the field.
