Seminal resource on state-of-the-art flow diversion techniques from leading neurointerventional
experts From detachable balloons and GDC coils to the recent advent of flow diversion
practitioners of endovascular neurosurgery have been fortunate to work in an era of rapid and
exciting advances. The first commercially available flow diverter in the U.S. was approved
specifically for a small subset of cerebral aneurysms. Recent experience has demonstrated its
utility in treating challenging or otherwise untreatable aneurysms safely and efficaciously.
The design of these devices requires learning radically different methods than those used in
the deployment of other non-braided stents. Flow Diversion of Cerebral Aneurysms by Min Park
Philipp Taussky Felipe Albuquerque and Cameron McDougall provides step-by-step guidance on
utilization of flow diversion technology in clinical practice. Reflecting the combined
experience and knowledge of pioneers in neurointerventional surgery this comprehensive book
fills a gap in available resources. Twenty-one chapters cover fundamentals to advanced concepts
historical perspective to future developments. Key Features - More than 100 high quality
graphics and illustrative case studies reinforce key concepts - Techniques and nuances of
Pipeline Silk (Balt Extrusion) Surpass Streamline and Flow-Redirection Endoluminal Device
(FRED) deployment - An overview of current flow diversion devices discussion of coil
embolization versus flow diversion off-label uses adjuvant approaches and hemodynamic
modifications - Pharmacology flow diversion grading scales and post-procedure radiographic
imaging - Clinical pearls on ruptured aneurysms intraprocedural postprocedural complications
and management of aneurysm residuals The ultimate goal of incorporating cutting-edge flow
diversion techniques into the aneurysm treatment paradigm is improved efficacy and patient
outcome. The knowledge gleaned from this outstanding resource will help residents and fellows
learn to deploy flow diverters for the first time and enable seasoned clinicians to expand
their neurointerventional radiology skills.
