Neurovascular Surgical Techniques

This comprehensive guide brings neurosurgeons up to date with the latest techniques in their field. Each chapter is divided into two parts, discussing the open surgical and endovascular aspects of the treatment.

Authored by a Philadelphia-based neurosurgeon, each section covers a different neurovascular disease, including brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, stroke and vascular abnormalities of the spinal cord.

New techniques such as glue for aneurysms, flow diversion, acute stroke interventions and future innovations in microneurosurgery and endovascular neurosurgery, are discussed in detail.

More than 550 colour images and figures illustrate all the techniques.
