Endovascular neurosurgery in Europe: an International Survey and future perspectives.
Journal of neurosurgical sciences(2024)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Recent advancements in neurosurgery have transformed patient care through minimally invasive procedures and led to a notable surge in endovascular treatments. However, the regulatory landscape governing these procedures across European countries varies, impacting treatment access and collaboration. This paper discusses the results of a survey on European legislation regarding endovascular neurosurgery, exploring current practices and speculating on the field's future.
METHODS:An e-mail survey was distributed to 41 European countries, targeting European member societies within the EANS. Thirty-seven completed questionnaires were returned, providing insights into neuroendovascular treatment legislation and restrictions.
RESULTS:Legislation and certification varied across the surveyed countries, with only two countries prohibiting endovascular neurosurgery. Eight countries required specific fellowship programs. Resistance from radiologists was noted in many countries.
CONCLUSIONS:Despite growing support for neurosurgeons performing endovascular treatments in Europe, challenges persist. Specialized care, improved access, and a broadening spectrum of treatable conditions contribute to the argument for involvement of neurosurgeons.
