1st Edition

The go-to resource for managing a full spectrum of clinical scenarios in acute ischemic stroke
Ever-evolving technological advances
have created a daunting number of emergent neurointerventional protocols
and therapies for treating acute ischemic stroke. This has created an
urgent need for reader-friendly, hands-on resources. Video Atlas of
Acute Ischemic Stroke Intervention edited by renowned neuroinventional
stroke experts Maxim Mokin, Elad I. Levy, Adnan H. Siddiqui, and
esteemed contributors fills a void in education and knowledge with
interactive, case-based guidance on mastering challenging stroke
interventions. The atlas leverages current knowledge and decades of
experience in acute stroke treatment and device innovations to
familiarize clinicians at various career stages with a wide repertoire
of techniques available in the neurointerventional suite.
The book focuses on technical aspects of
interventional stroke procedures including pitfalls and complications,
an overview of the most useful tools of the trade, and discussion of
pre- and post-procedural care. Eighteen chapters provide comprehensive
coverage on the most common endovascular treatment approaches for acute
stroke—aspiration and stent-retriever thrombectomy of proximal, distal,
and tandem occlusions. Several cases focus on recognition and management
of complications that clinicians may encounter during emergent
procedures. Topics include the importance of arterial access, unmet need
in current devices, and methods for overcoming these challenges.
