Full Description
As minimally invasive therapies, endovascular embolization and chemo-embolization are now the first-choice palliative or curative therapeutic alternatives in oncology, traumatology, functional pathology, treatment of benign tumors, and management of post operative complications.
This book is a handy pocket guide for trainee vascular radiologists, and serves as an aide-memoire for senior vascular radiologists. Each procedure is shown in its entirety and also discusses expected outcomes.
The first part of the book covers the materials and techniques used; the second part deals with the general physiopathological principles of embolization; and the third part analyses the main anatomo-clinical situations and strategies.
This book is a handy and accessible guide for quick reference aimed at clinical interventional radiologists in multidisciplinary staff rooms and angiography suites.
