Cerebrovascular diseases such as intracranial aneurysms (IAs), arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs), or cavernous hemangiomas (CHs) can be treated with microsurgical approaches, endovascular procedures, or radiosurgical techniques. In some cases, a combination of these techniques may be used in a staged approach to treat the disease. Moreover, a unique hybrid operation combining open microsurgical and endovascular procedures may be the best option in selected cases. Spinal vascular pathologies may also be treated with a single modality, staged, or combined approach. Other factors, such as neuroimaging, are also fundamental in diagnosing, monitoring, and planning the treatment approaches. Therefore, the treatment approach for each neurovascular disease depends on multiple factors and requires interdisciplinary discussions to choose the correct treatment option for the patient.
Given the multidisciplinary approach required to manage neurovascular diseases and the continuous advancements in each treatment modality, there is a need for updated evidence-based guidelines to support clinical routine. This collection aims to provide evidence into the field of neurovascular management by comprising all aspects of microsurgical, interventional, and radiosurgical treatments for spinal and cerebrovascular diseases, as well
as the use of neuroimaging to support the treatment decisions. Its objective is to define updated standards of care and gather recent experiences and innovative approaches to microsurgical, endovascular, and radiosurgical interventions for brain and spine vascular diseases. The collection emphasizes the indications, benefits, and potential harms of single, staged, and combined therapeutic procedures, intending to promote an interdisciplinary
approach and encourage an updated overview of recent advances in surgical, endovascular, and radiosurgical treatments of these pathologies.
This Research Topic welcomes articles on operative, interventional, and radiosurgical techniques, as well as the use of imaging in the treatment of spinal and cerebrovascular diseases, including IAs, AVMs, dAVFs, CHs, and more. The focus is on state-of-the-art and
innovative interdisciplinary strategies for managing neurovascular pathologies. The collection seeks various article types, such as case reports and case series, clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
The following topics are examples, not exhaustive, of subjects of interest:
- Insights on indications for single, staged, or combined treatments for cerebrovascular or spinal vascular disease
- The role of imaging in the treatment of cerebrovascular or spinal vascular disease
- Factors influencing the decision-making process of neurovascular pathologies
- Technical aspects of microsurgical, endovascular, or radiosurgical treatments for IAs,
AVMs, dAVFs, CHs, and other vascular pathologies.
- Case reports on exceptional cases that required multiple or combined treatments.
- Pros and cons of surgical, interventional, and radiosurgical techniques.
- Breakthroughs and prospects in the multidisciplinary management of neurovascular
diseases
