Interventional Neuroradiology is a rather young department, that asks for an appropriate anesthesia management. This article highlights mainly the practical approach, with special directions for a thorough premedication, monitoring and patient positioning and extra attention to heparinisation and allergic reactions. Different anesthetic techniques are dealt with, namely conscious sedation and general anesthesia, as well as directives concerning potential complications.
