Case-Based Interventional Neuroradiology

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.
