Abstract:
This book is designed to provide the practicing interventionist with a comprehensive list of procedural reports that covers the vast majority of the currently performed interventional procedures outside the cardiac system. It offers up-to-date explanatory notes, synopses of the indications, contraindications, and potential complications in an organized and practical format that follows the various body systems and progresses from the simple image-guided FNA to the most complex procedures, and it incorporates the current societal guidelines. The book is divided for ease of reference into three main parts: non vascular, vascular and neurovascular interventions. This information is not currently available in any single publication. The text provides residents, fellows, as well as staff members with a quick, detailed, and user-friendly resource for documentation of image-guided interventional procedures that will facilitate their tasks, improve the standard of documentation, and reduce errors. The text can serve as a valuable tool for a quick review prior to a procedure or in preparation for an oral board certifying examination. The entries are vetted by recognized experts in the field of image-guided intervention.
