What is Interventional Neurology?
Interventional neurology is a specialized branch of neurology that focuses on minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and blood vessels. These specialists use catheters, stents, and other devices to treat neurological disorders without open surgery.
