Abstract
The development of transcranial Doppler sonography allows noninvasive, continous examination of the arteries at the base of the brain. This method is of particular interest in interventional neuroradiology. In the endovascular treatment of angiomas the effects of embolisation can be continuously monitored with a small probe during and after the treatment. The elevation of peripheral resistance, which results in increased incidence of complications, can be seen early on. In the endovascular treatment of aneurysms and AV fistulas, transcranial Doppler sonography permits to control the blood flow velocity in the parent vessel and allows us to know if the balloon i or is not compromising the flow of the latter.
