Handbook of Interventional Radiologic Procedures

The Fourth Edition of Handbook of Interventional Radiologic Procedures features extensive updates to keep pace with the
rapid growth of interventional radiology. Focusing on protocols and equipment, this popular, practical handbook
explains how to perform all current interventional radiologic procedures. Highlights of this edition include new
information on radiofrequency ablation.

Each procedure includes indications, contraindications, preparation, technique, postprocedure management, and
prevention and management of complications. Simple line drawings demonstrate relevant anatomy and procedures. Coverage
also includes risk management, nursing management, and drugs and dosages. The outline format helps readers find
information quickly, and the compact pocket size enables residents and practitioners to carry all the information they
need with them.
