Endovascular interventions, which have been added to the medical literature from the beginning of the 1900s, are currently used by
neurology, neurosurgery and radiology specialists. In the historical process, these treatments were mainly carried out by radiologists.
Today, where minimally invasive interventions come to the fore in every surgical field, endovascular treatments constitute the minimally
invasive branch of vascular surgery. Endovascular interventions have made a breakthrough in surgically inaccessible aneurysms,
caroticocavernous/arteriovenous fistulas, and cases requiring a high level of expertise such as arteriovenous malformations. Many
neurosurgeons also add endovascular treatments to their daily routines with clinical fellowship programs. The developments in this
field are increasing like an avalanche, and many neurosurgeons now apply the treatments in our country. In this review, it is aimed
to reveal the historical development process of endovascular interventions and the contribution of neurosurgeons to this process.
