Surgical Neuroangiography cover

This volume of Surgical Neuroangiography offers in-depth insights into vascular interventions, covering techniques, disease processes, and treatment modalities for various vascular conditions.

The second volume of Surgical Neuroangiography delves into critical aspects of vascular interventions, focusing on cerebral ischemia, vascular tumors, and various forms of arteriovenous fistulae and aneurysms. This comprehensive resource is structured into two parts: the first addresses cerebral and spinal arteriovenous shunts, while the second explores technical aspects of endovascular neurosurgery. Each section intricately weaves together functional vascular anatomy with an understanding of disease processes, their pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and advancements in technology.

In Surgical Neuroangiography, the authors, Alejandro Berenstein, Pierre Lasjaunias, and Karel ter Brugge, leverage over two decades of expertise to present the latest in endovascular techniques. These techniques are vital for the embolization of aneurysms and vascular malformations, as well as tumors affecting the spine, spinal cord, and brain. The text also highlights innovative revascularization methods for occlusive vascular diseases that are transforming therapeutic approaches in the brachiocephalic and cerebral vasculature.

This volume emphasizes the importance of understanding collateral circulation to implement safe and efficient strategies for occlusion or revascularization. Richly illustrated and practice-oriented, Surgical Neuroangiography serves as an essential guide for both seasoned practitioners and those new to the field, providing a thorough overview of treatment modalities for vascular interventions in adults and children alike.

From the reviews:

"The presentation of the book is admirable with most chapters beginning with discussion of basic pathophysiology and continuing with clinical aspects and practical advice. … The authors are careful not to present simply the latest technological advances, but to underpin the book with clinicopathological aspects of vascular disease which they regard as fundamental for the successful management of these difficult cases. … It functions best as a reference text and has an accessible and easy to use index which helps in this regard."
