Other Neurointerventions

Apart from aneurysms, arterio-venous malformations (AVMs), and stroke, a neurointerventionist is called to tackle a wide range of vascular and sometimes nonvascular problems involving the head, neck, and spine. These include massive epistaxis, carotico-cavernous fistulas, slow flow malformations and benign vascular tumors of head and neck, trans-arterial chemoembolization for certain tumors, pre-operative tumor embolization, etc. Here we shall briefly review some of these conditions. This will be largely a pictorial essay based on illustrative cases.
