Abstract

The growing importance of INR has resulted in the need to define and promote professional standards of clinical practice. Several professional organizations have published guidelines recently for the neurointerventional treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, including technical and personal recommendations, but detailed definitions of technical and organizational conditions needed for the safe and effective performance of such treatments are lacking. To fill this gap ESNR, ESMINT and the UEMS Division for Neuroradiology established a working group, to develop a consensus paper on “Standards of Practice in Interventional Neuroradiology”. This document is the result of the Consensus Working Group and has following review gained approval by the Executive Boards of ESNR and ESMINT and by the members of the UEMS Division for Neuroradiology in 2017.
