This concise, easy-to-use book offers expert insights into
current controversies in vascular neurosurgery with a view to
providing the practitioner with authoritative practical guidance
that will assist in the management of difficult disease entities.While vascular neurosurgery has undergone unprecedented
advances during the past decade, enabling safer and easier access
to previously untreatable pathology, this progress has been
accompanied by confusion as to what constitutes best, or even
acceptable, practice. Here, experts in the field discuss the
various tools available and explain how best to use them when
confronted by different pathologies, drawing upon their personal
experience. Each chapter focuses on a specific case that is
discussed by two experienced surgeons; a third author then
evaluates the case, highlighting the available evidence and pearls
in the treatment of that particular disease. The authors have been
carefully chosen to provide a truly balanced viewpoint on paradigms
that they themselves use. They therefore have a sound understanding
of the thought processes of surgeons when dealing with challenging
diseases for which there may be no single correct path.
Furthermore, they are well placed to identify not only appropriate
uses of new treatment options and technologies but also
circumstances in which their use is best avoided. The ultimate
benefactor of this book will be the patient: our biases as
physicians should never become a patient’s morbidity.
