Endovascular treatment is a type of therapy that does not involve craniotomy. It can treat conditions including cerebrovascular disorders and brain tumors by inserting a tubal instrument called a catheter from the groin area to the blood vessel in the head using an X-ray fluoroscopy. Since it is less invasive than a general craniotomy, it can be done on patients who cannot tolerate craniotomy or who have other conditions such as heart disease.
