Endovascular Therapy for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Endovascular Therapy for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis presents selected cases of endovascular treatment for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), providing detailed information on periprocedural medical management, endovascular strategies, device selection, and follow-up outcomes. The book serves to improve understanding of ICAS and share clinical experiences from high-volume stroke intervention centres with neuro-interventionalists. The book reviews recent developments in ICAS management and presents evidence that appropriate patient selection and peri-operative planning may contribute to the effectiveness of endovascular therapy for ICAS

• Includes case-based examples of clinical history, physical examination and imaging findings, together with procedure detail and subsequent follow-up progress. This allows the reader to follow through the clinical reasoning of how the treatment strategy was directed towards the individual patient
• Many real-patent cases with ICAS (intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis) at different vessels with different severity and morphology are described
• Perioperative complications with associated management strategies are discussed
