Cerebrovascular surgery refers to a variety of surgical procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the blood vessels in the brain. These conditions can include cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid artery disease, and other vascular abnormalities that can lead to stroke or other neurological problems. Surgical interventions can include aneurysm clipping, AVM resection, or carotid endarterectomy, among others.

Cerebrovascular surgery is essential for preventing stroke, improving blood flow to the brain, and reducing the risk of long-term neurological damage. By treating vascular conditions of the brain, these surgeries can help preserve brain function and improve the patient's quality of life.
