Abstract

This book Neurovascular Surgical Techniques is a totally new book, with an innovative idea of treating each neurovascular topic with a chapter divided into two parts, the first part exposing the open surgical aspect and the second part exploring the endovascular aspect of the treatment. This book will be the most up-to-date literature with a special focus on surgical techniques for the treatment of the wide spectrum of neurovascular diseases, from brain aneurysms, AVMs, cavernomas to stroke, vascular abnormalities of the spinal cord and many more topics, with a special emphasis on the newest techniques of flow diversion. This book sheds light on the most up-to-date and newest techniques, like glue for aneurysms, flow diversion, acute stroke interventions and future innovations in microneurosurgery and endovascular neurosurgery. This book is unique, because it deals with the two aspects of open surgery and endovascular surgery in every chapter; those chapters are authored by international leaders in the field of vascular neurosurgery. It has a large number of illustrations and figures illustrating all the techniques. This book targets all neurosurgeons, neurologists, interventional radiologists, and all medical students, residents, fellows, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
