If you’re a practitioner in the field of endovascular neurosurgery, you know how rapid and exciting the advancements have been in recent years. From detachable balloons and GDC coils to the relatively new technology of flow diversion, there is no question that the industry has been fortunate enough to be working in an era of exciting progress. One of the most significant breakthroughs in recent years within neurosurgery is the advent of flow diversion.

Recent experience has shown that flow diversion can treat aneurysms that would have previously been challenging or even untreatable. This technology represents a significant shift that requires practitioners to learn radically different deployment methods than those they were previously used to. That’s where Flow Diversion of Cerebral Aneurysms comes in.

This book, written by Min Park, Philipp Taussky, Felipe Albuquerque, and Cameron McDougall, provides step-by-step guidance on how to utilize flow diversion technology in clinical practice. The book reflects the combined experience and knowledge of pioneers in neurointerventional surgery, filling a gap in the available medical resources. Within twenty-one chapters, the reader is taken through the scopes of the fundamentals to advanced concepts of utilizing flow diversion technology. From the historical background of the technology to its future developments, everything is covered.

More than 250 high-quality graphics and illustrative case studies are provided to reinforce key concepts within the book. Additionally, techniques, nuances, and deployment methods are explained, covering several devices such as Pipeline, Silk, Surpass Streamline, and Flow-Redirection Endoluminal Device (FRED). Pharmacology, grading scales, and post-procedure radiographic imaging are also discussed.

Throughout the book, clinical pearls are highlighted, explaining how to deal with everything from ruptured aneurysms to intraprocedural/postprocedural complications. The ultimate goal is to provide a cutting-edge technique within the aneurysm treatment paradigm to improve efficacy and patient outcomes.

This eBook is an essential guide for all aspiring and seasoned clinicians looking to expand their neurointerventional radiology skills. It will help learners and practitioners deploy flow diverters for the first time and, at the same time, provide a thorough overview of the technology for experts in the field.

In conclusion, Flow Diversion of Cerebral Aneurysms is an invaluable resource that is essential reading for any practitioner seeking a thorough understanding of flow diversion technology. The content is well-organized, engaging, and informative, providing practical information that can be applied directly to the clinical setting.

Overall, this book is an essential acquisition for any practitioner looking to gain expertise and become competent in flow diversion technology. Order your copy today to stay updated on cutting-edge techniques and improve your patient outcomes.
