It is the arteries that provide the blood supply to the body, specifically to the organs and tissues. Should the arteries suffer from some pathology, the patient becomes exposed to impaired blood flow, lack of adequate oxygen supply and nutrients to muscles, compromised function of tissues and organs, and the risk of embolization and aneurysmal disease, which can be life threatening. Basic classification of pathologies is as follows. 

Classification of intracranial aneurysms may be based on morphology, size, location and etiology. The majority of intracranial aneurysms are true aneurysms containing all layers or components of the normal vessel wall. In contrast, in false aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms, the vascular lumen does not enlarge, although the external diameter of the abnormal segment may be increased. These aneurysms are rare within the skull.

The editors focus on intracranial vascular malformations and aneurysms which, together, comprise a major proportion of the bread earned by the neurointerventional-ist. The book not only deals excellently with interventional procedures, but also illuminates underlying pathological changes, different classification schemes, indications for endovascular therapy and relevant studies that have been conducted in this field.

Other lesions do not belong to this classification either. As stated above, intra-renal arteriovenous (or arterio-calyceal) fistulas or pseudo-aneurysms represent an excellent indication for super-selective angiography. Adrenal hematoma is frequently associated the diagnosis by CT is straightforward, the endocrine prognosis is usually excellent, and calcification is frequent on follow-up.
