ABSTRACT

Interventional neuroradiological treatments were practiced for

the irst time in 1974 when Sebinenko blocked the blood low of a

cerebral artery using a balloon catheter [1]. This method was then

expanded to aneurysm treatment but was not adopted worldwide

until suficient tools were developed for that purpose. The use of

digital subtraction angiography (DSA) spread quickly worldwide

after that the irst stable aneurysm embolization was presented in

1991 by Guglielmi et al. The embolization was achieved by using electricity for delivering a coil inside the aneurysm [2].
