Handbook Of Complex Percutaneous Carotid Intervention

This handbook supplements hands-on training in interventional cardiology with a specific focus on percutaneous intervention in patients with extracranial carotid artery stenosis. It carries reviews of landmark studies supporting carotid endarectomy and stenting and is a comprehensive guide to this exciting and burgeoning field.

This handbook supplements hands-on training in interventional cardiology with a specific focus on percutaneous intervention in patients with extracranial carotid artery stenosis. As both technology and technique continue to improve, the volume of carotid stent procedures performed worldwide has increased dramatically. The authors recognize that interventionalists of the cerebrovasculature must perform stenting of other major cerebral vessels, and thus provide cutting-edge approaches for percutaneous interventions of intracranial stenosis, vertebral artery stenosis, and acute stroke. Part I covers topics such as carotid angioplasty and stenting trials, noninvasive imaging of the carotid artery, and cerebrovascular angiography. Part II explores innovative techniques, equipment, and potential complications of carotid artery stenting. Part III provides a case-based approach to stenting.
