Endovascular Access to the Meningohypophyseal Trunk
a From the New Jersey Neuroscience Institute, Seton Hall University, 65 James St, Edison, NJ 08818. Address reprint requests to Kenneth Liebman, MD.
Summary: We describe a novel technique to selectively catheterize the meningohypophyseal trunk (MHT) and its branches. We emphasize the difficulty in accessing the MHT via an ipsilateral approach because of the geometric orientation of this vessel to the parent internal carotid artery.
