Handbook of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurointerventional Technique by John P Deveikis

Handbook of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurointerventional Technique by John P Deveikis

Neurointerventional radiology is evolving into a rarified and complex field, with more people today training to become neurointerventionalists than ever before. With these developments comes a need for a unified handbook of techniques and essential literature. In Handbook of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurointerventional Technique, Mark Harrigan and John Deveikis present the first practical guide to endovascular methods and provide a viable reference work for neurovascular anatomy and cerebrovascular disease from a neurointerventionalist's perspective. This new gold-standard reference covers the fundamental techniques and core philosophies of Neurointerventional radiology, while creating a manual that offers structure and standardization to the field. Authoritative and concise, Handbook of Cerebrovascular Disease and Neurointerventional Technique is the must-have work for today's neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and interventional radiologists.

From the reviews: "The purpose of this book is to demonstrate the most used basic and advanced neurointerventional techniquesRadiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, and interventional neuroradiologists are the main audiences for this book. ... It is a practical guide to the anatomy as presented. ... The illustrations are well done and the references are up-to-date ... . This is an excellent pocket reference in neuroendovascular surgery. ... It belongs in any fellow's lab coat pocket and in any large academic library." (Celso Agner, Doody's Review Service, July, 2009) "The book is intentionally presented in a simplistic form. The major points are presented in bullet statements, containing the critical information that would be required by an interventionalist. ... the figures provided are quite useful and are a useful adjunct to the descriptions given in the text. As a whole, this book is a welcome addition to the literature of Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology. ... Both residents and fellows early in their training as well as experienced angiographers will find this text valuable as a reference." (Muhammad Shazam Hussain, Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, July, 2010)

Mark Harrigan is a graduate of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. He did a residency in neurosurgery at the University of Michigan and a fellowship in interventional neurosurgery at the University of Buffalo under the direction of L. Nelson Hopkins. Presently he is Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurology and Radiology at the University of Alabama, Birmingham (UAB). His clinical focus is on vascular and interventional neurosurgery and his research emphasis is on cerebrovascular clinical trials. He is the UAB site principal investigator for the CREST 2, MISTIE III and MyRIAD studies, among others, and his research passion is the management of blunt traumatic cerebrovascular injury. Outside of work his interests include motorcycling, running and dry wit.
