Brain Arteriovenous Malformations and Arteriovenous Fistulas

by Aaron S. Dumont (Editor),‎ Giuseppe Lanzino (Editor),‎ Jason P Sheehan (Editor)

The management of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) is a complex and delicate task that involves several approaches. It requires a multidisciplinary team of experts in neurosurgery, radiology, and endovascular treatment. Fortunately, a comprehensive, up-to-date compendium on the subject is now available. Edited by Aaron S. Dumont, Giuseppe Lanzino, and Jason P Sheehan, the book features contributions from leading global experts on AVMs and AVFs.

The book is designed to provide practitioners with a step-by-step guide to managing arteriovenous malformations and fistulas. The text begins with an in-depth analysis of cerebrovascular anatomy, followed by pathogenesis, physiology, hemodynamics, natural history, clinical presentation, and indications for treatment. While covering all major treatment approaches, including microsurgery, endovascular treatment, and radiosurgery, the book distinguishes and summarizes the pros and cons of each method.

The book offers an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of uncommon congenital syndromes such as Wyburn-Mason syndrome and Parkes-Weber syndrome. Additionally, the book details autosomal dominant genetic disorders such as Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome) and Capillary malformation/arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome, providing clear guidance on how to handle each disorder.

One of the unique features of this book is its rich collection of more than 300 high-quality illustrations and videos that help the reader grasp the impacted cerebrovasculature and each treatment modality.

The book goes further by providing practical insights drawn from hands-on surgical expertise, case studies, and evidence-based data. International experts on cerebrovascular malformations have contributed their clinical wisdom and guidance on various topics throughout the book including imaging, surgical techniques, and complications.

With step-by-step tutorials and classification systems for brain AVMs and fistulas, this is a must-have guide on cerebrovascular malformations. The authors offer clear guidance on how to manage surgical complications that could arise while treating AVMs and AVFs. They provide essential information on hemorrhaging and inoperable malformations, pediatric cases, residual or recurrent AVMs, epilepsy, and seizures.

The language is straightforward and concise, thus making it accessible to those in the field and students alike. The eBook version of the book is 296 pages long, published by Thieme; 1 edition (October 11, 2017). The book is available in English, and the ISBN-10 is 1626233225, and the ISBN-13 is 978-1626233225. The dimensions of the book are 8.5 x 0.8 x 11 inches.

In summary, this book is a comprehensive, evidence-based compendium that provides practitioners and students with a practical guide to the management of intracranial arteriovenous malformations and fistulas. It is a book that easily appeals to neurosurgeons, radiologists, and fellow neurosurgery students who wish to gain a better understanding of AVMs and AVFs.

Ordering the book is a wise investment into your education and clinical toolkit. You will surely find value in the expert guidance and insights provided by the leading practitioners in the field.
