(openPR) - New York/Stuttgart – “Cerebral Revascularization: Microsurgical and Endovascular Techniques,” recently published by Thieme, discusses open brain bypass and other treatment techniques performed to restore blood flow in the brain. With over 350 high-quality illustrations and radiographs, this concise guide demonstrates the entire process of open brain bypass from open surgical techniques, to endovascular procedures, and critical care considerations.

“[This book] covers the entire spectrum of cerebral revascularization, detailing technical options, indications, complications, and outcomes of the various forms of open and endovascular surgery...It is highly visual, with operative photos, color illustrations, and rich imaging examples.” says author Dr. Eric S. Nussbaum, MD, National Brain Aneurysm Center, Twin Cities, MN.

This concise reference contains in-depth discussion of extracranial-intracranial bypass and offers the latest in endovascular therapy. While demonstrating management of all steps of the process, this superb resource puts a unique emphasis on the vital role perioperative care plays in optimizing patient outcomes. Written by a team of authors whose experience is unrivaled, this text offers insight on technically demanding procedures and treatment options that will benefit those treating and caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease.

“This stimulating monograph will not only capture the interest of neuro-vascular experts, but data expressed here will also attract, in particular, the young generation of neuro-scientists, who will be challenged by the effective treatment avenues being pursued in this broad and immense field of neurovascular diseases.” says Dr. M Gazi Yasargil, MD, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR.
