In this autobiography, Josef Rösch, a leading pioneer in
interventional radiology from its inception to the present,
documents his life and discusses important aspects of his work,
focusing especially on those procedures that he developed or
improved and that were popularized by his lectures and
publications. In Prague, Dr. Rösch worked on splenoportography
and visceral angiography, while in the United States he developed
the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and
introduced embolization for treatment of GI bleeding and
expandable metallic stenting of obstructions of major veins and
the esophagus. In addition, he contributed to the improvement of
coronary angiography and fallopian tube catheterization. The book
also describes the author’s role as the lead person in
establishing the Dotter Interventional Institute in 1990. The
Institute was the first freestanding, independent interventional
radiology unit to deal with education, research, and patient
care. Dr. Rösch’s organization of scientific meetings and his
early use of techniques for live internet broadcasting are
described, and the book concludes by summarizing the multiple
honors and awards that he received in recognition of his
achievements.
