Interventional Radiology

Two eminent interventionalists have edited this definitive reference on the rapidly developing field of interventional radiology, a successful alternative to invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The book's two sections--Vascular Intervention and Nonvascular Intervention--comprise 66 chapters written by 86 contributors from Korea, Japan, the United States, and Europe. Of particular value in this blending of eastern and western expertise are sections regarding interventions for diseases frequently encountered in Asia. The Vascular Intervention section is divided into seven subsections: Embolotherapy; Transcatheter Management of Hepatic Tumors; Arterial Recanalization; Aortic Intervention; Venous Intervention; Neurovascular Intervention; and Miscellaneous Vascular Intervention. The Nonvascular Intervention section contains five subsections: Hepatobiliary Intervention; Urogenital Intervention; Thoracic Intervention; Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Intervention; and Miscellaneous Nonvascular Intervention. This book is a must-have for interventional radiologists and surgeons who seek new, more beneficial approaches in patient care.
