AB  - This article reviewed the achievements, challenges, and future directions in endovascular interventions. Endovascular interventions are procedures in which a catheter is inserted percutaneously into a blood vessel. This allows for treatment of vascular diseases by delivering pharmacologic agents or implantation of small devices (eg, stents, coils) on a catheter. Also discussed is some of the challenges involved in neurovascular interventions.
