“…28 Other endosaccular approaches included introducing beryllium copper, copper wire, horse or hog hair to induce thrombosis. 29,30 John Alksne described stereotaxic thrombosis wherein an intravascular injection of an iron suspension was directed to the aneurysm by an extravascular magnet that was placed with stereotactic technique. 31 The next step toward endovascular treatment was performed by Luessenhop and Velasquez 32 in 1964.…”

In this review article, we aim to provide a summary of the discoveries and developments that were instrumental in the evolution of the Neurointerventional field. We begin with developments in the advent of Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography and progress to cerebral aneurysm treatment, embolization in AVMs and ischemic stroke treatment. In the process we discuss many persons who were key in the development and maturation of the field. A pivotal aspect to rapid growth in the field has been the multidisciplinary involvement of the different neuroscience specialties and therefore we close out our discussion with excitement about ongoing and future developments in the field with a focus on treatments in the non-cerebrovascular disease realm.

“…The "pilojection" technique involved the forcible injection of hog hairs or horse hairs into the aneurysm with a pneumatic gun. 284 Stereotactic magnetically guided embolization of aneurysms with iron particles was also investigated. 285 Alfred Luessenhop and A.C. Velasquez published the first report of an endovascular attempt at the treatment of an intracranial aneurysm in 1964.…”

“…[2] Historically, ruptured aneurysms were treated by electrothermic thrombosis or by piloinjection. [25] A new era in the treatment of IA began when Italian neurosurgeon Guido Gugliemi introduced electrolytically detachable platinum coils in 1991. [6] Today the focus is on measures to promote endothelialization across the aneurysm neck after coiling in order to prevent regrowth and rebleeding.…”
