Interventional neuroradiology (INR), also known as endovascular neurosurgery, provides minimally invasive treatment for a wide range of vascular disorders affecting the brain and spine.
St George’s has a long-established and distinguished tradition in interventional neuroradiology and is one of the busiest, highest-volume centres in the UK. It was the first department in the country to establish a comprehensive 24/7 service for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke.
The department offers a broad range of highly specialised procedures, including embolisation of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke, carotid artery stenting, and the treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulas, as well as intracranial and facial arteriovenous malformations.
St George’s neurointervention has a strong and enduring commitment to innovation, teaching, and research, with active involvement in the organisation and participation in national and international meetings and representation on high profile national committees.
We are one of the main London training centres for interventional neuroradiology trainees.
