Endovascular treatments have continued to gain traction as the advancement of technology, technique, and procedural safety has allowed for the expansion of treatment indications of various cerebrovascular pathologies. Interventions such as the coiling of intracranial aneurysms, carotid artery stenting, mechanical thrombectomy in the setting of ischemic stroke, and endovascular embolization of arteriovenous malformations have all seen transformations in their safety and efficacy, expanding the scope of endovascularly treatable conditions and offering new hope to patients who may have otherwise not been candidates for surgical intervention. Despite this notable progress, challenges persist, including complications associated with device deployment and questions regarding long-term outcomes.
