ABSTRACT
Technical advances in interventional neuroradiology have rendered the majority of intracranial vascular lesions treatable with coils and/or stents; yet, in some cases parent vessel sacrifice remains the only viable therapeutic option for complex intracranial lesions. As such, there continues to be a role for occlusion testing in the preprocedural management of certain aneurysms and of neoplasms with associated vascular encasement or potential vascular compromise.
