Edition 2025 – 21 videos
The spinal cord vascular supply, namely the arteries supplying the spine and the spinal cord, and the veins draining the spine and the spinal cord.
In depth knowledge of neurovascular anatomy is of tremendous importance to improve the chances of curing brain vascular malformations and to reduce procedure-related complications. Definitely, Interventional Neuroradiologists, Neurosurgeons and Vascular Neurologists cannot do without knowing brain vascular anatomy!
