β¦ Synopsis
Iatrogenic neurological deficit constitutes the greatest risk during therapeutic embolization in the vascular territories of the carotid and vertebral arteries. Constant monitoring of the patient's neurological status is therefore essential. The authors discuss the use of medical hypnosis to circumvent general anesthesia and to reduce chemical sedation to a minimum. Their experience with this technique is presented.
