Surgical Neuroangiography

From the reviews: "The presentation of the book is admirable with most chapters beginning with discussion of basic pathophysiology and continuing with clinical aspects and practical advice. ... The authors are careful not to present simply the latest technological advances, but to underpin the book with clinicopathological aspects of vascular disease which they regard as fundamental for the successful management of these difficult cases. ... It functions best as a reference text and has an accessible and easy to use index which helps in this regard." (Justin Cross, Acta Neurochirurgica, 2005)
