Neurovascular Anatomy in Interventional Neuroradiology: A Case-Based Approach

This case-based book presents detailed information on neurovascular anatomy in concise, easily digestible chapters that
focus on the importance of understanding anatomy when performing neurointerventional procedures. The case discussions
include modern examples of invasive and non-invasive angiographic techniques that are relevant for general radiologists
and diagnostic neuroradiologists as well as interventionalists. This book gives readers the detailed knowledge of
neurovascular anatomy that allows them to anticipate and avoid potential complications.

Key Features

● Cases are enhanced by more than 1,000 high-quality radiographs covering the full range of neurovascular anatomy

● Content focuses on the practical relevance of the anatomical features encountered while performing everyday neurovascular
procedures

● Anatomy and embryology are explained together, enabling readers to fully comprehend the vascular anatomy and its many
variants

● Pearls and pitfalls are provided at the end of each chapter, highlighting the critical anatomy points presented

All neuroradiologists, interventionalists, general radiologists, and diagnostic neuroradiologists, as well as residents and
fellows in these specialties, will read this book cover to cover and frequently consult it for a quick review before
performing procedures.
