[Alfred J Luessenhop, an American neurosurgeon] can be regarded as the father of endovascular neurosurgery. [Luessenhop] is credited with the first embolization of a cranial arteriovenous malformation and the first intracranial arterial catheterization to occlude an aneurysm." -- quotation is from National Library of Medicine wedsite.
