Management of Cerebral Aneurysms

This comprehensive reference presents an up-to-date, in-depth examination of cerebral aneurysm management that emphasises the multidisciplinary team approach needed for optimal results. It is the only book of its kind that reviews history, experimental models, basic science, evaluation and care of patients with aneurysms rehabilitation and techniques of surgery and techniques of endovascular aneurysm occlusion.Represents the first book of its kind that describes all aspects of cerebral aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Uses over 400 original images to illustrate nuances of diagnosis and technique.
Features the work of international authors who are experts in their respective fields.
Presents full-chapter coverage of the topics most relevant to practice today: Microsurgical Anatomy of the Anterior Cerebral Circulation (Ch. 3) - Surgical Management of Giant Cerebral Aneurysms (Ch. 42) - Endovascular Equipment and Devices for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms (Ch.55) - Future Endovascular Management of Aneurysms (Ch. 60) - Surgical or Endovascular Treatment of Aneurysms: A Comparison of Techniques (Ch. 61) - and Endovascular Biological Aneurysm Management (Ch. 62).
Reflects the significant advances in understanding the pathophysiology of cerebral aneurysms and the development of innovative techniques (both surgical and endovascular) to occlude aneurysms.
Examines unique aneurysms such as those occurring during pregnancy, in childhood, and in elderly patients - infectious or traumatic aneurysms - aneurysms associated with arterio-venous malformations - multiple aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage of unknown cause.
