Building upon the success of prior editions, Practical Neuroangiography, Third Edition, provides a detailed and richly illustrated guide to diagnostic and interventional neuroangiography and its role in the management of neurovascular disease. The Third Edition provides the new fellow with the background knowledge needed to understand these procedures, the unusual variant anatomy that can affect treatment and outcomes, and the field’s current limitations.

Building upon the success of prior editions, Practical Neuroangiography, Third Edition, provides a detailed and richly illustrated guide to diagnostic and interventional neuroangiography and its role in the management of neurovascular disease. The Third Edition provides the new fellow with the background knowledge needed to understand these procedures, the unusual variant anatomy that can affect treatment and outcomes, and the field’s current limitations. Organized for ease of use, the book's four sections address techniques and safety; normal anatomy & pathology correlated with angiographic images; angiographic findings of neurovascular diseases; and an introduction to interventional techniques and emergency procedures. Actual patient cases provide practical stepwise coverage of each procedure, tips for accurate diagnosis, and guidance in clinical decision-making.

Dr. Osborn's classic work, An Introduction to Cerebral Angiography, has now been completely revised, reorganized, and updated and expanded from an introductory book into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference on cerebral angiography. Coverage includes new information on vascular territories, film subtraction, and magnetic resonance angiography. The text is thoroughly illustrated with 1,200 radiographs and line drawings, all of them new to this volume. Boxed summaries are used throughout the text to highlight key points.

The 3D Angiographic Atlas of Neurovascular Anatomy and Pathology is the first atlas to present neurovascular information and images based on catheter 3D rotational angiographic studies. The images in this book are the culmination of work done by Neil M. Borden over several years using one of the first 3D neurovascular angiographic suites in the United States. With the aid of this revolutionary technology, Dr Borden has performed numerous diagnostic neurovascular angiographic studies as well as endovascular neurosurgical procedures. The spectacular 3D images he obtained are extensively labeled and juxtaposed with conventional 2D angiograms for orientation and comparison. Anatomical color drawings and concise descriptions of the major intracranial vascular territories further enhance understanding of the complex cerebral vasculature.

Interventional Neuroradiology describes a range of endovascular, percutaneous and imaging techniques used in the region of the brain, spine, and head and neck. These techniques have a growing number of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The coverage starts with a look at the anatomy of the regions concerned, then moves on to describe the techniques and equipment used, before covering their application in a range of specific diseases, including stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, tumours and vascular malformations. The book closes with a section looking at other related aspects of patient care and service organisation. James Byrne has commissioned chapters from renowned international experts in this field. This is a concise and up-to-date book on interventional neuroradiology, and unlike other available texts, it covers both the theoretical background as well as the practical aspects of this exciting discipline.

"From residents to seasoned practitioners, a detailed knowledge of surface and functional anatomy is essential before a needle electrode can be inserted into a muscle with optimal effectiveness and minimal discomfort to the patient. This book, written by long-time experts in the field, gives the tools for conducting an accurate, well tolerated needle EMG examination - based on identifiable landmarks and a keen understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy. Highlights of this practical clinical resource: Each muscle is systematically described by its origin, insertion, innervation, and action. Optimal patient positioning and the needle electrode location, as well as the brief clinical notes, allow easy access to any relevant topics Exquisite illustrations throughout highlight clinical landmarks and aid in needle electrode placement, especially in deep muscles that may be difficult to identify Anatomic guidelines for the entire body are covered in twelve comprehensive sections Alternative methods of needle placement are discussed and compared For all electromyographers in practice and training, this book offers key information for minimizing the number of needle penetrations, reducing patient discomfort, shortening the length of the examination, and obtaining precise diagnostic information. Especially when dealing with an uncooperative or limited patient, it allows the electromyographer to visualize the underlying anatomy and electrode path for maximum results. Find these typical guidelines for muscle sampling: Work from proximal to distal in the limb, as the proximal muscles are usually less sensitive to needle insertion than the distal small muscles Test the weakest muscle first, as it has the greatest probability for revealing abnormalities. However, interpret carefully as the end stage of muscle pathology does not reveal significant findings. Examine less painful muscles first intrinsic muscles of the hands and feet are usually very sensitive. Be aware that some patients prefer needle EMG to the shocks associated with nerve conduction studies. Consult an expert before proceeding with studies on unfamiliar muscles -- and take all necessary precautions when planning the examination. "

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a condition that can occur in women undergoing in vitro fertilization, after having follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) injections to stimulate egg growth and maturation. Some patients respond excessively to the drug and dose given. If large numbers of eggs mature, the high hormone levels combined with the increased size of the ovaries, can cause extreme, and sometimes lethal, side effects. The pathophysiology, prevention and management of this syndrome have been revolutionized over the past decade and it is important for reproductive practitioners and infertility specialists to understand the latest findings about this potentially deadly condition. The author reviews in depth the important classification, epidemiology, pathophysiology, complications and prediction, prevention and treatment options for this pathology. This book is intended for infertility specialists, reproductive medicine specialists and assisted reproduction specialists.

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.

An essential companion for busy professionals seeking to navigate stroke-related clinical situations successfully and make quick informed treatment decisions.
