Arterial Revascularization of the Head and Neck : Text Atlas for Prevention and Management of Stroke

This book covers all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of stroke, offering an integrated perspective that will be relevant to a range of specialists. Extensive consideration is given to the different methods of stroke prevention and arterial revascularization, with up-to-date information on pharmacological measures and clear presentation of endovascular stent placement procedures and surgical techniques, including those involving the carotid artery, vertebral artery, and aortic arch. Complex procedures, such as simultaneous bilateral carotid revascularization, are discussed in depth, drawing on a large series of cases and setting out practical rules. The diagnosis and treatment of intra- and extracranial aneurysms and the management of cervical trauma are examined fully. In addition, the reader is provided with guidance on characterization of the culprit lesion by means of different imaging modalities and with advice on the importance of a multidisciplinary team and combined approaches (endovascular and surgical), identification of risk factors, anesthesia, neuromonitoring, and hemodynamic monitoring. The book will be of value not only for cardiac and vascular surgeons but also for cardiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, anatomists, specialists in diagnostic imaging, and interventional radiologists.;The cerebral circulation -- Cerebral vascular territories and the major neurovascular syndromes -- Stroke subtypes -- Surgical approaches for cerebrovascular revascularization -- Diagnostic approach to cerebrovascular disease: ultrasound -- Endovascular approach: from diagnosis to therapy -- Diagnostic approach to cerebrovascular disease: ct and mri -- Pharmacological measures for the treatment and prevention of stroke. The choice of initial therapy -- Anesthesia for carotid surgery and stenting. Neuromonitoring and perioperative care -- Carotid angioplasty and stenting -- Carotid endarterectomy -- Vertebral artery revascularization -- Extensive cerebrovascular arterial revascularization -- Cervico-cerebral arteries dissection -- Extracranial carotid and vertebral artery aneurysm -- Asymptomatic carotid and vertebral artery stenosis -- Lessons from experimental-induced atherosclerosis -- valuable for the precision medicine of tomorrow -- Choice of the proper therapeutic measure in the individual patient and prevention of stroke. Neurology---made visible Every practitioner in modern medicine is confronted daily with neurologic symptoms, diagnoses, and clinical problems. Yet there is scarcely any other medical specialty that is so fraught with complexities and abstractions. This pocket atlas is designed to provide a better, easier-to-understand visual guide on what the reader needs to know about neurology. In a unique way, neurology is made "visible" in the truest sense of the word. Coverage includes: - The basic principles of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology (structure of the CNS, peripheral nerves, stimulus transmission, nerve conduction velocity, etc.) - Diagnostic methods and procedures (clinical examinations, electrophysiologic techniques, imaging studies, etc.) - Neurologic disorders including their clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and principles of treatment These topics and more are covered in elaborately drawn, meticulously labeled illustrations. The effective concept of placing the illustrations opposite the descriptive text for a particular subject has created word-and-picture units that combine maximum teaching impact with an optimum density of information. Neurologic relationships can be grasped literally "at a glance." This pocket atlas is intended for medical students, physicians, and other medical professionals (nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists) who could profit from a visual guide to neurology. Color Atlas Of Neurology Spans A Wide Scope Of Subject Matter, Ranging From Basic Anatomy And Physiology, To Detailed Coverage Of Cerebral And Spring Disorders, To Diagnostic Evaluation. Medical Students And Residents Will Be Amazed At The Sophisticated Density Of This Dynamic Visual Aid. It Is Also A Concise Reference For Neurologists, Neuro-surgeons, And Primary Care, Practitioners Who Confront Neurologic Issues In Their Daily Practice.--book Jacket. 1.
