Case-Based Interventional Neuroradiology

A practical, step-by-step guide to neurointerventional treatment of central nervous system pathology

Case-Based Interventional Neuroradiology, Second Edition, edited by global experts Timo Krings, Adam A. Dmytriw, Sasikhan Geibprasert, and Karel ter Brugge encompasses the entire spectrum of pathological conditions that can be treated by interventional neuroradiologists. The updated second edition of this widely acclaimed resource combines scientific rigor, honesty, and ethics with a human touch throughout significantly expanded content. This includes a growing number of disease entities that can be treated effectively with neurointerventional therapy, such as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, chronic subdural hematoma, retinoblastoma, and cerebrospinal fluid leak.

Throughout 103 cases organized into 10 sections, the authors discuss the rationale for selecting specific materials and methods, then outline the risks and benefits of their choices versus other options. Updated cases include a comprehensive view of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with and without coiling assistance, flow diversion, and flow disruption. Other major updates include the treatment of shunting lesions, head and neck embolization, spinal pathology, the use of modern stents and liquid embolics. Several case reports describe in detail how to manage asymptomatic, incidentally discovered disorders, highlighting the importance of knowing the natural history of these diseases to formulate the most optimal patient risk management strategy.

Key Highlights

• Reflects the clinical, radioanatomical, technical, and human skills of world-renowned pioneers of neurointerventional techniques, supported by modern disease and imaging leaders
• Insightful clinical pearls on how to avoid, recognize, and manage periprocedural complications
• Interpretation of clinical and high quality imaging findings enhance understanding of the rationale for specific approaches and goals of treatment

This unique book will help fellows and seasoned practitioners in radiology, interventional radiology, neuroradiology, and vascular neurosurgery expand knowledge and understanding of the latest techniques and incorporate them into practice.
