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.

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
