IONM DURING CEREBRAL ANEURYSM REPAIRJeff Balzer, Ph.D., D.ABNM, FASNM

Description: Cerebral aneurysm treatment carries a high risk of ischemic events that can be both detected and reversed with the appropriate IONM monitoring modalities. In addition to being asked to monitor more conventional open surgical cerebral aneurysm treatment, IONM has expanded to the interventional radiology suite and has proven to be just as valuable during endovascular treatment of both unruptured and ruptured cerebral aneurysms.
