Download or read book Ischemic Stroke written by Isaac E. Silverman and published by Clinical Pub. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, the diagnosis and treatment of stroke has changed at a phenomenal rate since the first use of CT scans and early studies using thrombolytic agents. New investigative procedures help direct patient selection for specific therapies and may substantially increase the chance of a successful therapeutic outcome. These advances in treatment have led to a paradigm shift in the way stroke victims are diagnosed and cared for. Specialists have seen the introduction of a range of new therapies for the management of ischemic stroke such as mechanical embolectomy and other cathe.
Download or read book Video Atlas of Acute Ischemic Stroke Intervention written by Maxim Mokin and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Key Highlights Thirty-eight individually narrated, high-definition videos describe angiographic and procedural cases, step by step High-quality illustrations emphasize and delineate key aspects of complex procedures Firsthand tips and tricks enhance the ability to manage highly challenging and less common pathologies, including arterial dissection, atherosclerosis, and venous strokes This must-have resource will benefit all practitioners involved in the interventional care of patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Download or read book Hemorrhagic Stroke written by Ie Silverman and published by Clinical Pub. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past three decades, the diagnosis and treatment of stroke has changed at a phenomenal rate since the first use of CT scans and early studies using thrombolytic agents. In the last decade, the stroke specialist has seen the introduction of new therapies versus carotid endarterectomy; mechanical embolectomy and other catheter-delivered agents and devices; novel thrombolytic agents; drugs to limit hematoma expansion; antithrombotic agents for secondary stroke prevention and other neuroprotective strategies. Advanced techniques such as the treatment of aneurysms by neurosurgical clipping versus endovascular coiling, and neurosurgery for intracerebral hemorrhage and the malignant MCA stroke syndrome have been studied, offering a promising look into the future. It must not be forgotten that this has happened against the backdrop of ever increasing sophistication in the field of CT scanning and MR neuroimaging, which helps direct better patient selection for specific therapies and may substantially increase the chance of a successful therapeutic outcome. These advances in treatment therapies has led to a paradigm shift in the way stroke victims are diagnosed and cared for. This exciting new guide to vascular neurology offers a richly illustrated and, above all, practical guide to assist in the complex management and clinical decision-making involved in this fast-moving field. The authors have assembled a comprehensive collection of original visual material which will be a valuable reference to the specialist and trainee clinician alike.

Book excerpt: Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the U.S. Deaths from stroke are largely preventable, especially with targeted public health efforts. To meet this challenge, the CDC monitors the geographic and temporal trends in stroke rates among racial and ethnic groups, strengthens the delivery of primary and secondary prevention health services to all such groups, and develops policy recommendations. This atlas provides info. to identify pop's. at greatest risk for stroke and in greatest need of prevention efforts. It presents county-level maps of stroke for the 5 largest racial and ethnic groups in the U.S.: American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asians, and Pacific islanders, blacks, Hispanics, and whites.

Download or read book Arterial Revascularization of the Head and Neck written by Horia Muresian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of stroke, offering an integrated perspective that will be relevant to a range of specialists. Extensive consideration is given to the different methods of stroke prevention and arterial revascularization, with up-to-date information on pharmacological measures and clear presentation of endovascular stent placement procedures and surgical techniques, including those involving the carotid artery, vertebral artery, and aortic arch. Complex procedures, such as simultaneous bilateral carotid revascularization, are discussed in depth, drawing on a large series of cases and setting out practical rules. The diagnosis and treatment of intra- and extracranial aneurysms and the management of cervical trauma are examined fully. In addition, the reader is provided with guidance on characterization of the culprit lesion by means of different imaging modalities and with advice on the importance of a multidisciplinary team and combined approaches (endovascular and surgical), identification of risk factors, anesthesia, neuromonitoring, and hemodynamic monitoring. The book will be of value not only for cardiac and vascular surgeons but also for cardiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, anatomists, specialists in diagnostic imaging, and interventional radiologists.
