Future Directions of Endovascular Neurosurgery.

Overview

In the last few decades, endovascular neurosurgery has progressed from treating conventional cerebrovascular pathology to expanding outside the realm of vascular neurosurgery. As technologies, techniques, and devices are developed and refined, more patients with neurologic conditions can be treated with a less-invasive endovascular approach. For pathologies such as neurodegenerative diseases or hydrocephalus, the surgical treatment paradigm is starting to change with novel endovascular innovations. We anticipate more pathologies treatable by endovascular means, as more technological progress is made.
