Superselective internal carotid arteriography and embolization.
Superselective arteriography and superselective embolisation is the future of a part of neuroradiology. After the first realisation in the territory of the external carotid artery, it was logical to extend it to the territory of the internal carotid artery. The technic of the balloon-catheter of Serbinenko is described and problems of embolisation in the internal carotid artery are discussed.
