Vascular Interventional Radiology

Providing an introduction to vascular and interventional radiology, this book offers detailed review of a range of vascular and non-vascular diagnostic and interventional procedures. It presents normal and variant anatomy, diagnostic entities, and interventional techniques in a step-by-step format.

Part of the definitive Requisites series, this volumes offers all the essentials necessary to pass exams in radiology and practice in the field. Practicing radiologists will use it as a handy, practical, daily reference tool in this subspecialty area. The first part on Vascular Radiology covers the following topics: vascular imaging techniques; vascular pathology; lower extremity and pelvis; abdomen; thorax; and the great vessel. The second part on interventional radiology covers topics such as: basic principles; vascular interventional techniques; biliary tract; GU and reproductive systems; gastrointestinal system; biopsy and drainage in the abdomen; cervicothoracic biopsy; and drainage in the thorax.

Written by a team of distinguished contributors involved in training programs, this new book offers a thorough and complete overview of the most important aspects of vascular and interventional radiology for residents and fellows. You'll get all anatomic, procedural, and clinical information, including proper techniques, outcomes, and complication avoidance. Hundreds of line drawings, tables, radiographs, and CT scans illustrate key points and clarify difficult concepts. The book begins with an introduction to general procedures and imaging, and then provides an analysis of the most effective diagnosis and management strategies. Dozens of case studies, including pulmonary and bronchial circulation, venous diseases, liver and spleen disorders, angiography, and more, clarify all concepts. Key features: Nearly 600 high-quality drawings and radiographs-more than one per page! Valuable information on detecting and avoiding complications, from procedural and long term problems to infections Succinct enough to be read in a one- or two-month resident rotation References are limited to only relevant, state-of-the-art listings Here is an invaluable guide and study tool for residents and fellows, as well as for experienced radiologists using it as a daily reference.

This introduction to interventional radiology is written in a case-based format. Each case contains illustrations and legends describing the imaging findings and technical details of each intervention. No other book covers the subject so succinctly.

Designed specifically for the Core Exam, Vascular and Interventional Radiology : A Core Review covers all key aspects of the field, mimicking the image-rich, multiple-choice format of the actual test. Ideal for residents preparing for the Core Examination, as well as practitioners taking recertification exams, this unique review follows the structure and content of what you’ll encounter on the test, effectively preparing you for Core Exam success!

This book provides easily accessible technique specific information on interventional radiology (IR) procedures at a basic level for medical students and junior doctors. It covers subject topics in both vascular and non-vascular interventional radiology appropriate for a non-specialist audience. Case based contents help to introduce IR techniques and demonstrate the role of minimally invasive therapy in the overall clinical management. Pre and post-procedural patient assessments are also included in the chapters to enhance patient safety and early detection of complications. Interventional Radiology treatments now play a major role in many disease processes and continues to grow with new procedures added to the armamentarium of the interventional radiologist, almost on a yearly basis. Interventional radiology because of its pivotal role in medical care, requires its own teaching curriculum. Recognising this, the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology Society of Europe (CIRSE) devised an undergraduate curriculum in IR, specifically designed for teaching medical students. This book will be primarily of benefit to medical students. In addition, it will also be of help to non-radiology junior hospital doctors and general practitioners.

This volume focusses on the current evidence surrounding the use of endovascular therapy. It updates and complements the earlier Medical Radiology volume on the Radiology of Peripheral Vascular Diseases. Some background information is provided on vascular biology and the facilities required for safe endovascular practice, along with guidance on consent issues. Further chapters deal with endovascular treatment in particular arterial territories, and include the evidence in favour of or against the use of specific treatments. The most up-to-date evidence surrounding endovascular aneurysm repair is discussed. There are also chapters on venous interventions, including the endovascular management of varicose veins. This book will be of value both to interventional radiologists and to vascular surgeons with an interest in endovascular techniques.

A step-by-step approach to 55 procedures This companion to the best-selling Teaching Atlas of Interventional Radiology: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Angiography covers the latest techniques in the field of interventional radiology used to treat non-vascular diseases. Each case begins with a discussion of critical aspects of the disease process and differential diagnoses to teach you how to quickly recognize the presentation of diseases and disorders. The atlas guides you through all stages of management, from initial diagnosis to determining best method of treatment and the therapeutic options available. Highlights: 55 procedures for the neck and thorax; the abdomen, including the gastrointestinal system, liver, biliary system, and pancreas; the reproductive system; and the urinary system and adrenal glands A step-by-step approach to diagnosis and treatment "Pearls" and "pitfalls" highlight key points and warn of potential errors More than 300 illustrations demonstrate important concepts Here is the essential guide for interventional radiologists, residents, and other specialists seeking to improve their management of non-vascular disorders and problems that they often see in practice.
