Neuroendovascular procedures, such as mechanical thrombectomy for the treatment of ischemic stroke and cerebral aneurysm embolization, have emerged as key interventions in modern medicine due to their minimally invasive nature and ability to offer effective solutions in critical situations. These procedures carry inherent risks and require close monitoring in the postoperative period to prevent and detect complications such as hemorrhages, infections, or neurological alterations. Nursing care during this phase includes continuous monitoring of neurological and hemodynamic parameters, surveillance of the vascular access site, pain management, and prevention of respiratory and thromboembolic complications. Additionally, ongoing education for the patient and their family about the recovery process and warning signs, as well as emotional support to facilitate adaptation to the rehabilitation process, are essential components of care. The importance of nursing actions in the postoperative period is emphasized to ensure thorough surveillance for timely intervention, prevention of complications, and promotion of adequate recovery. Continuous education and training for nursing staff are essential to enhance the quality of care for these patients.
