Book description
Featuring comprehensive coverage of the latest developments and
technology in the field,
Case-Based Interventional Neuroradiology
provides a thorough review of commonly encountered neurovascular
diseases, as well as detailed background information on the rationale
for each treatment choice. Cases center on real life scenarios with
high-quality images, and offer readers a concise, practical, and
up-to-date approach to the diseases neurointerventionalists face. Each
case describes the clinical presentation, the non-invasive imaging
studies, and the treatment, including equipment used and a step-by-step
description of the intervention. The authors then thoroughly discuss the
case and provide background information on the disease, differential
diagnoses, and a description of the non-invasive workup, including the
physical exam and required imaging studies. A separate section in each
case contains alternate treatment options -- including medical,
surgical, or radiosurgical treatment options -- in order to broaden the
reader's understanding of the benefits or disadvantages of treatments
provided by related disciplines. Clinicians can rapidly refresh their
knowledge on the success and complications rates of the different
treatment options using the up-to-date literature review and a
literature review featuring the latest references.Features
72 clinical cases enhanced by over 750 high-quality radiographs
cover the full range of vascular and nonvascular neurointerventional diseases
Interpretations of clinical and imaging findings help readers to
fully understand the reasons for the treatment choice and the specific
goals to be achieved
Presents tips on how to avoid complications, as well as how to
recognize and manage complications when they occur
Examples of both successful and unsuccessful cases offer a
well-rounded perspective
Readers are brought quickly up to speed with practical information
on imaging findings, the physical exam, epidemiology, differential
diagnoses, treatment modalities, the risks of alternate treatments,
and current studies
This cutting-edge compendium is an essential resource for both the
beginning interventionalist and the seasoned practitioner in radiology,
interventional radiology, neuroradiology, and vascular neurosurgery.
Residents will find the succinct presentation of cases an invaluable
learning tool. Associate Professor, Division of Neuroradiology,
