Fully revised and updated, the Handbook serves as a practical guide to endovascular methods and as a concise reference for neurovascular anatomy and published data about cerebrovascular disease from a neurointerventionalist's perspective. Divided into three parts, the book covers:

• Fundamentals of neurovascular anatomy and basic angiographic techniques; * Interventional Techniques and endovascular methods, along with useful device information and tips and tricks for daily practice; * Specific Disease States, with essential clinical information about commonly encountered conditions.

New features in the 2nd Edition include: * Global Gems that illuminate aspects of the field outside the United States; * Angio-anatomic and angio-pathologic image correlates; * Newly released clinical study results influencing neurointerventional practice; * Information on emerging technologies in this rapidly advancing field.

The Handbook is a vital resource for all clinicians involved in neurointerventional practice, including radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, and vascular surgeons.

Klappentext

Fully revised and updated, the Handbook serves as a practical guide to endovascular methods and as a concise reference for neurovascular anatomy and published data about cerebrovascular disease from a neurointerventionalist's perspective. Divided into three parts, the book covers:

• Fundamentals of neurovascular anatomy and basic angiographic techniques;
• Interventional Techniques and endovascular methods, along with useful device information and tips and tricks for daily practice;
• Specific Disease States, with essential clinical information about commonly encountered conditions.

New features in the 2nd Edition include:

• Global Gems that illuminate aspects of the field outside the United States;
• Angio-anatomic and angio-pathologic image correlates;
• Newly released clinical study results influencing neurointerventional practice;
• Information on emerging technologies in this rapidly advancing field.

The Handbook is a vital resource for all clinicians involved in neurointerventional practice, including radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, and vascular surgeons.
