Features: This book is a specialized monograph on interventional neuroradiology. After providing an overview of the development of interventional neuroradiology, basic anatomy, equipment, embolic materials, catheter techniques, and anesthetic requirements, it details the vascular imaging and vascular structural aspects of various conditions such as cerebral and spinal arteriovenous malformations, carotid cavernous fistulas, intracranial aneurysms, Galen's malformations, hypervascular tumors, and malignant brain tumors. It emphasizes the principles, methods, and management of complications for various treatment modalities, including endovascular embolization, chemotherapy, thrombolysis, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, and nucleoplasty.
Interventional neuroradiology is an emerging interdisciplinary field both domestically and internationally. It spans disciplines such as neuroradiology imaging, neurosurgery, and clinical neurosciences, offering treatment for many conditions previously considered incurable or difficult to treat, opening up a new path for the development of neurology and radiology. Based on the author's nearly 2,000 cases of clinical practice and experience, and drawing extensively from domestic and international literature, this book presents up-to-date content with rich illustrations and numerous clinical examples. It serves as a highly practical reference for clinicians in neurology, radiology, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, orthopedics, and medical schools.
