by Jeanne M. Laberge
Interventional Radiology Essentials covers the basic techniques of:
- vascular diagnosis (vascular ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography, and contrast angiography)
- vascular interventions (angioplasty, fibrinolysis, embolization, stent placement, arthrectomy, TIPS, and IVC filters)
- non-vascular applications (nephrostomy, abscess drainage, biopsy, biliary drainage, and gastrostomy)
Chapters on vascular and non-vascular interventions include authoritative tips on indications, contraindications, step-by-step technique, and management of complications. Written by well-regarded experts, this volume is ideal as an authoritative resource for exam review or as an on-the-spot reference.
