Beskrivning

This book cites several clinical indications for embolization. Embolization is a safe and effective therapy for intra visceral bleeding, closure of arterio-venous malformations, non-surgical nephrectomy and splenectomy. It is especially useful in patients with several critical co-morbid medical conditions which preclude radical surgeries. It is organ preserving, with limited complications. In the text, the procedural details are described in each clinical situation. The materials used for the procedure are also be described. The procedural pitfalls and complications are detailed in addition to precautions to be taken during the procedure. This will serve as a reference guide for cardiologists and vascular radiologists.

Recensioner i media

"This short book briefly covers materials and procedures associated with arterial embolization in select organs, including the lungs, kidneys, spleen, uterus, and a few other arterial beds. It starts with a general overview of materials used for embolization, then goes through each of the aforementioned organs and arterial beds, reviewing indications, results, and associated complications of embolization. ... The book is intended for cardiologists and radiologists who practice arterial interventions in both elective and urgent settings." (Ashish Jain, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2017) "Recently published book 'Therapeutic Embolization' by Drs Kiron Varghese and Srilakshmi Adhyapak is the first of its kind in the emerging growing field of therapeutic embolization. All chapters have been very well crafted with special emphasis on the procedural techniques, which differs based on the organ involved. The book will be asset to interventional cardiologists and radiologists engaged in this field. I suggest this book in the must have list in the cath lab and IR suite."
