"Few medical fields have enjoyed the explosive growth and continued maturation as the subspecialty of endovascular surgical neuroradiology. In pouring through the literature on all things associated with neurointerventional, I recognized the need to develop a resource that brought focus to the many devices and the techniques and procedures we do. This book does just that: It brings to sharp focus the most current, and up-to-date methods of an ever-changing specialty. It brings this information to you, through the lens of experts in their respective fields by focusing all their research into the textbook that sits before you. The "Clinical Practice" portion of this textbook integrates and translates this theory into a working paradigm that brings benefit to our patients. By focusing on technique and emphasizing complication avoidance and in those unfortunate times when the complication occurs, complication management, your patient benefits"--Provided by publisher.
Neurosurgeons, radiologists, and other medical specialists describe the many devices, techniques, and procedures that neurointerventionalists use in an endovascular approach to treating vascular diseases of the nervous system. They integrate and translate the theory into a working paradigm that focuses on technique, and emphasizes complication avoidance and complication management when necessary. The topics include general endovascular tenets, angiographic fundamentals, arteriovenous malformations, atherosclerotic disease, acute stroke interventions, and additional endovascular applications. The book can be used as a text in continuing education and as a reference for practitioners. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
Covering not only the latest techniques but also the science and rationale behind neuroendovascular treatment, this reference reflects the current knowledge base of the endovascular surgical neuroradiology subspecialty. It covers all aspects of neuroendovascular surgery, such as the science of vascular biology to the more advanced clinical applications in acute stroke interventions and AVMs. Written by neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiologists, this timely text provides readers with a thorough review of all the considerations pertinent to the endovascular treatment of diseases of the cerebrovascular system, spine, head, and neck.
Key Features:
- Technique chapters include complication avoidance and management
- High-quality, unique illustrations and up-to-date images guide the reader through clinical concepts and technically challenging procedures
- Covers topics that are often overlooked but are critical to understanding the dynamics of endovascular treatment, such as the use of anticoagulants or procoagulants and the biophysics of vascular disease
- Each chapter ends with a Summary which distills and highlights the key takeaways for that topic
Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology is a key resource that trainees as well as more seasoned clinicians will refer to repeatedly over the course of their careers.
