Management of Cerebral Aneurysms

Two top neurosurgeons deliver complete, up-to-date guidance on the diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular aneurysms and malformations in this groundbreaking new resource. Stressing a multidisciplinary, team approach, this text presents a wealth of information on the treatment of aneurysms, the management of subarachnoid hemorrhage, techniques to occlude aneurysms*both surgical and endovascular*patient selection, and more.

• Represents the first book of its kind that describes all aspects of cerebral aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
• Uses over 400 original images to illustrate nuances of diagnosis and technique.
• Features the work of international authors who are experts in their respective fields.
• Presents full-chapter coverage of the topics most relevant to practice today: Microsurgical Anatomy of the Anterior Cerebral Circulation (Ch. 3) · Surgical Management of Giant Cerebral Aneurysms (Ch. 42) · Endovascular Equipment and Devices for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms (Ch.55) · Future Endovascular Management of Aneurysms (Ch. 60) · Surgical or Endovascular Treatment of Aneurysms: A Comparison of Techniques (Ch. 61) · and Endovascular Biological Aneurysm Management (Ch. 62).
• Reflects the significant advances in understanding the pathophysiology of cerebral aneurysms and the development of innovative techniques (both surgical and endovascular) to occlude aneurysms.
• Examines unique aneurysms such as those occurring during pregnancy, in childhood, and in elderly patients · infectious or traumatic aneurysms · aneurysms associated with arterio-venous malformations · multiple aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage of unknown cause.
