Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional neuroradiology is a subspecialty that uses special techniques to treat vascular problems of the brain and spine. These strategies involve the use of catheters (hollow plastic tubes) to treat complex cerebrovascular problems from within the blood vessels.

Using this technique, surgeons can perform a variety of procedures, such as embolization of intracranial and spinal vascular malformations, as well as cerebral angioplasty. Forsyth Medical Center's biplane angiography suite assists in the delivery of these catheter-based procedures.
