A transdisciplinary approach to the medical, radiologic, interventional, and surgical treatment of stroke

In the last decade, advances in interventional, microsurgcial, radiosurgical techniques, medical approaches and imaging technology have dramatically changed the management of ischemic stroke. Perhaps the most important advance has been the increasing collaboration between multispecialty clinicians to deliver team-based stroke care. Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke: Medical, Imaging, Surgical, and Interventional Approaches, Second Edition by renowned neurosurgeons Bernard R. Bendok and H. Hunt Batjer and acclaimed contributors provides a user-friendly, single resource for managing ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. The second edition has been updated to reflect progress, most notably acute evaluation and triage, advanced imaging, critical care and medical support, and endovascular and surgical interventions. In addition to scientifically supported content, readers will benefit from pragmatic, real-world applications and concise, practical reviews.

Organized into four sections and 41 chapters, the text starts with the section Acute Triage, which includes early diagnosis and medical decision-making, advances in medical imaging, innovations in prehospital management of stroke, and the promise of telestroke networks. The second section, Critical Care, covers the importance of astute clinical examination, stabilization, and advanced neuromonitoring techniques. The third section, Open Surgical, Minimally Invasive, and Microsurgical Approaches, reviews recent surgical innovations that have the potential to be lifesaving and enhance quality of life in select patients. The fourth and final section, Neurointerventional Approaches, explores recent innovations in image-guided catheter techniques to deliver new therapies for stroke treatment and prevention.

Key Highlights

The often difficult yet important adjudication of antithrombotic medication useInsightful discussion of the importance of prehospital systems of care and stroke center certificationInsightful discussions of interventional and microsurgical approaches for hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke managementMedical illustrations and author-narrated videos provide a visual learning experienceClinical pearls and case presentations enhance learning and retention of knowledge

The goal of this book is to increase collaborative stroke management among neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroanesthesiolgists, neurologic critical care physicians, and allied health care professionals to achieve better patient outcomes.

Neurosurgery represents one of the most specialised arenas in modern medicine. Today, more than ever, patients with neurological disorders seek opinions from a variety of specialists and are often treated by teams of physicians. While consensus is often reached within institutions, regional variation is found between institutions. The lack of high quality clinical evidence contributes to this problem. This textbook aims to examine some of the most controversial areas of neurological surgery by applying the current evidence to illuminate our understanding of the pathophysiology of each disease and the outcomes from surgical and non-surgical treatments. Today's neurosurgeon must be able to apply current evidence in the clinic to determine, for example: Which aneurysm should be treated with endovascular or open vascular techniques? Which degenerative lumbar spine should be fused, decompressed, or both and which spine's deformity should be corrected and to what extent? Whether an acoustic neuroma should be treated, followed, removed, or irradiated? This is a textbook that will challenge current dogmas in many instances, provide an organised framework for understanding where current evidence can be applied clinically, and illustrate where gaps in the evidence exist and how these deficiencies may be filled in the future. In the first chapter, "Clinical Evidence", the reader will gain an understanding of the levels of clinical evidence and will learn what types of study designs are appropriate and in which situations. The textbook is then divided into six sections: Spine, Vascular, Tumour, Paediatrics, Functional, and Trauma. Each section's editors have provided a brief synopsis of the specific challenges within each field followed by chapters that provide the current evidence in areas where clinical uncertainty lies.
