Book excerpt: This encyclopedic reference takes into account the status of interventional neuroradiology in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. It explains and discusses the various options to recanalize occluded extra-and intracranial vessels. The book provides an in-depth description of the different endovascular treatment strategies, including thrombectomy for large vessel inclusion, balloon angioplasty and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, and stenting of extra- and intracranial arterial dissections and their conservative treatment, and bypass surgery for subacute and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. The book also offers tips and tricks for each procedure to enable readers to understand better the benefits and limitations of the endovascular management of ischemic stroke patients. Similarly, it explains the technical aspects of the procedures with their respective pros and cons. Written by respected experts in the field, the book will be a valuable resource for interventional neuroradiologists and neurologists, vascular and endovascular neurosurgeons, stroke neurologists, and other practitioners at all levels of experience.
Download or read book 12 Strokes written by Ferdinand K. Hui and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, case-based resource provides the state-of-the-art knowledge that can help readers improve access and optimize delivery of stroke thrombectomy. Improving access to stroke is of particular importance because patients often misinterpret their symptoms or cannot speak for themselves if they have aphasia. More importantly, access needs to be organized because stroke therapies are all extremely time-sensitive. Scalable, choreographed protocols are necessary for emergency medical systems to ‘capture’ stroke patients and automatically transport and triage to time-sensitive treatments. Many of the chapters in the first section on Fundamentals and Systems provide valuable insight in improving access to stroke care. Replete with illustrative case studies and emphasizing that treatment approaches to stroke should not be comprised of a one-size-fits-all approach, this illuminating title provides the complete thought, detail, insight and organization that will help readers meet the needs of stroke patients with large vessel occlusions. 12 Strokes: A Case-based Guide to Acute Ischemic Stroke Management examines the primary technical principles that underlie the current thrombectomy approaches. Instead of continuing the conceptual dichotomy of stent vs. aspiration, many of the chapters look at underlying principles and then discuss ways in which the currently available devices and approaches can best exploit them. The variety, creativity and detail in many of these chapters will help the reader develop a deeper understanding that might assist their ability to successfully take care of their next patient that ‘doesn’t follow the textbook.’ In addition, the anatomic and pathophysiologic classification of the core Twelve Chapters will help readers organize their thinking and approach. This knowledge, particularly because it is organized based on common, challenging syndromes, will arm the reader to quickly recognize patterns and deftly adapt their management approaches to the needs of the patient. An invaluable contribution to the clinical literature, 12 Strokes: A Case-based Guide to Acute Ischemic Stroke Management will be of great interest to not only neurosurgeons and neurologists but other specialists, primary care providers, and trainees as well.

Download or read book Brain Ischemic Stroke From Diagnosis to Treatment written by Simone Peschillo and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroke is thought to be the second biggest killer worldwide, and is responsible for over 5 million deaths per year. Several strategies have been developed to enhance treatment of stroke patients. Multimodal neuroimaging allows physicians to diagnose and evaluate not only the ischemic core but also the vessel pattern and collateral status. Stroke Treatment involves extensive intravenous drug administration. Several new drugs with long lasting efficacy are now being tested in randomized clinical trials. In this context, endovascular treatment is a promising avenue that allows physicians to treat patients in extended time windows especially patients in whom intravenous RTPA has failed. A new era has emerged with new devices called stent retrievers and aspiration techniques, which have demonstrated higher rates of recanalization and clear superiority over previous devices employed in RCTs. The third volume of Frontiers in Neurosurgery presents updated information on ischemic stroke treatment. The volume comprehensively covers the epidemiology, physiology, diagnosis and treatment modalities of stroke. Readers will also find key information on diagnosing and treating rare and lesser known causes of stroke as well as notes about new devices and medical procedures to combat ischemic stroke. This volume is a useful resource for neurosurgery specialists as well as nurses, physiotherapists and caregivers.

Download or read book Case Studies in Stroke written by Michael G. Hennerici and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurologists learn from their patients, and this selection of 60 stroke cases will inform and challenge clinicians at all stages in their careers. Including both common and unusual cases, the aim is to reinforce diagnostic skills through careful analysis of individual presenting patterns, and to guide treatment decisions. Each case consists of a clinical history, examination findings and special investigations, usually involving imaging before a diagnosis is given. There then follows for each case a discussion of the clinical issues raised by the case, in which the main teaching points are emphasized. Selected references, frequently including the first description, are provided at the conclusion of each case. Drawing on the expertise of leading teachers and practitioners, and liberally illustrated, these case studies and the discussions that accompany them are an essential guide to learning the complexity of stroke diagnosis.
