Opis

The current textbooks for specialists are too detailed. This book will be a handy pocket guide for trainee vascular radiologists, and will serve as an aide-memoire for senior vascular radiologists. Each procedure will be shown in its entirety.Rather than being a library purchase, this book will be a handy and accessible guide for quick reference aimed at clinical interventional radiologists in multidisciplinary staff rooms and angiography suites.

O autorze

Pascal Chabrot, PhD, is renowned in his area and has published widely in both French and English, including in Acta Radiol., Journal Radiol., Journal des Maladies Vasculaires, and in a number of books. He has given numerous talks and lectures, and has held the post of head of the faculty of medicine at the university of Clermont-Ferrand since 2004, as well as having served in the French military medical service and having been awarded the bronze Medal for National Defence. He is an active member of a number of societies such as the Société Française de Radiologie, the Société Française d’Imagerie Cardio-Vasculaire and the Société Française d’Abord Veineux. He is also a junior member of the international Cardio-Vascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe.

Louis Boyer, PhD, Professor and a distinguished authority in this area, who has sat on the committees of numerous French and international working groups, societies and commissions. These include: the European Association of Radiology, the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology (USA,) the Cardio-Vascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe, the Société Française d’Imagerie Cardio-Vasculaire; as well as having been the secretary for many groups and societies in France. He has a strong research record, and since 2006 has been on the national list of experts in the field of medical accidents (with emphasis on interventional radiology.) His university credentials are numerous; he has held such posts as director of research (Université d’Auvergne), head of the Clinic at the Faculty of Medicine (Clermont-Ferrand)v and elected member of the sub-section of the CNU since October 2000. He is currently the head of the vascular radiology service at the G. Montpied hospital (CHU de Clermont-Ferrand)

Blurb

Innovations in catheterization techniques and embolization agents have considerably contributed to the development of endovascular occlusion techniques in arterial and venous trunks as much as distal parenchymal capillar beds. Mini invasive therapies, endovascular embolization and chemo-embolization now constitute valuable therapeutic alternatives in various fields: on a purely palliative or on a curative basis in oncology,  but also in traumatology, functional diseases, and for the treatment of benign tumors, or when dealing with post-operative complications.

As in-depth and detailed descriptions of these techniques are all ready available in specialized books, our ambition is to provide a basic handbook for the young vascular radiologists in training and a checklist for the more experienced interventional radiologists, by providing for each of the constantly increasing indications a synthetic approach of the technique and its expected results.

The first part of this book relates to the tool box (the materials) and the procedure techniques as well as the physiopathological requirements for carrying out embolization; the second part is an analytical description of the main situations and anatomo-clinical strategies.

This handy book should to be a valuable memory aid for clinicians and interventional radiologists, readily available in the multidisciplinary staff rooms and in angiography suites.
