title: Perspectives on training standards in neuroendovascular therapeutics.
abstract: Endovascular surgical neuroradiology has become a discipline in its own right, supported by a substantial and growing body of knowledge. In recognition of its emergence as a new field of study and practice, representatives from the two most influential founding disciplines, neurosurgery and neuroradiology, have defined a set of training standards, which ensure that practitioners learn both the procedures and their theoretical foundations.
