title: [Anaesthesia for interventional procedures].
abstract: Interventional radiologists perform a wide range of procedures. The anaesthesiologist takes care for provision of a physiologically stable and immobile patient, alteration of arterial blood pressure as necessary, and appropriate and timely management of complications. In this article we discuss the anaesthetic considerations for procedures like embolization of arterio-venous malformations, coiling of cerebral aneurysms, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty including the preprocedure preparation, monitoring requirements, suitable anaesthetic techniques, postprocedure management and complication.
