Neurointervention in the Medical Specialties. A Comprehensive Guide

Preface: Neurointervention – An evolving specialty

 

Chapter 1: The Neurointerventional Tool Kit

 

Chapter 2: Neurovascular Anatomy

 

Chapter 3: Intensive Care of the Neurointerventional Patient

 

Chapter 4: Endovascular Treatment of Extracranial Atherosclerotic Disease

This book covers the intersections between neurointervention and neurology, neurointervention and neurosurgery, and neurointervention and other specialties. It fills the gap in the literature by placing specific emphasis on appropriate patient selection, preparation, and post-procedural management.

Concise and comprehensive, this text covers the increasingly important aspects of the neurointerventionalist profession, as it has moved away from a purely technical role to a focus on clinical care. In addition, the most rapidly expanding area of neurointervention, ischemic stroke, is thoroughly examined in this text, where other texts on this subject fail. It is also meant as a reference for non-neurointerventionalists who may desire to learn more about how their patients can benefit from the therapeutic or adjunctive techniques that the neurointerventionalist can provide.

 

Neurointervention in the Medical Specialties, Second Edition is an essential guide written for neurointerventional specialists from all backgrounds, both in practice and in training.
