The aim is to give a review of the anesthesiological approach to neuroradiological endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysm in Croatia since 2004, when the first procedure was done. It took place at University Department of Radiology, Zagreb University Hospital Center. The optimal conduct of anesthesia in the neuroradiology suite requires careful planning of each individual procedure. ⋯ It is essential to keep up-to-date in the knowledge of neuroanesthesia, neuropathology and interventional neuroradiology. In spite of the relatively non-invasive nature of the procedures, serious, even fatal complications may occur. Therefore, the role of anesthesiologist and his/her cooperation with neuroradiologist is crucial for successful results.
