Teaching Atlas of Interventional Radiology: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Angiography Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Together with the book by Karim Valji (Vascular and interventional radiology, ISBN 0721670032) this book forms a formidable addition to any prospective interventionalist's library. The book essentially forms two parts. An introduction describing in a review format some common fields of interventional radiology such as lower extremity arterial disease, but also enlightens the user on the highly busy part of interventional radiology - that related to dialysis vascular access and its importance for the dialysist and (no lesse important) for the patient with a dialysis access. The second part of the book describes case stories with appropriate images and narrative content. A few areas seem a little different from modern approach with almost no vascular CT or even mention of multi-detector vascular CT, an important emergent technique. Also - albeit this may be from my lack of familiarity with American settings - a curious case of a patient with a brain abscess is related and the sequelae of that is never really mentioned. In general the book is informative, well written, clear and with a lot of interesting and highly educational examples.

Atlas of Interventional Neurology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a trainee in interventional neurology, I'd have to say this book is "middle of the road." It does have good cases and illustrations. It consists of cases that are shown in a step-by-step manner. There are two reasons I do not give this a higher rating: 1. It is NOT an atlas as one might expect - it does not spend a lot of time on diagrammed anatomy. There are also not a lot of diagrammed angiographic images. 2. Only about half the cases have references.
As far as strengths, the best thing about the book is that all authors describe in detail which device they use and at what point in the procedure.
In summary, this is a nice addition to the library of anyone training in interventional neurology/neuroradiology. It is not really a reference book, and should only supplement other sources.
