Interventional Neuroradiology Uses Fluoroscopy to Gain Access to the Intracranial

Multiple Choice

Interventional neuroradiology uses fluoroscopy to gain access to the intracranial circulation by way of a percutaneous transfemoral catheter.The endovascular approach to the treatment of both ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms is endosaccular occlusion.This is an excellent technique for aneurysms that are complex,have a neck that is too short for clipping,or are difficult to reach via traditional craniotomy.This approach is less invasive than the traditional open craniotomy with identification and clipping of the aneurysm followed by cranial closure and extended recovery.Select the true endovascular procedure that has been designed as an alternative to its open surgical option.

A) Endovascular coil occlusion of an aneurysm
B) Endovascular approach for ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion
C) Endovascular evacuation of intracranial hemorrhage
D) Endovascular ultrasound
