New topics and features include: intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage; intracranial tumor embolization; vasculitis work-up and management; percutaneous carotid artery puncture technique; and pediatric aspects of neurointerventional techniques and disease states. Handbook of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurointerventional Technique 3rd ed. 2018 Edition, 3rd Edition, is a portable and concise resource for interventional neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, and vascular surgeons.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This concise yet thorough reference continues to serve as a practical guide to neurointerventional techniques and methods, and provides a framework for an introduction into the cerebrovascular literature. … this is an excellent update to an already well-established textbook.” (Mark Igra, RAD Magazine, November, 2018)
