Clinical Vascular Anatomy and Variations

The first volume of this second edition of Surgical Neuroangiography contains the previous volumes 1 and 3 in one book. The edited and updated text provides a practical understanding of the challenges that face the modern management of vascular diseases. Additional 3-D angiographic photographs as well as new illustrations complete this classic book of vascular disease management in adults and children. The authors, Pierre Lasjaunias, Alex Berenstein, and Karel ter Brugge are highly committed to both research and teaching . This second edition is a prerequisite for anybody wishing to fully understand clinical challenges and vascular intervention.

From the reviews of the second edition: "The authors have produced an easy-to-read text and high-quality illustrative examples … . The book’s greatest value is its integration of the understanding of the function underlying the morphological description. … One could not think of a neuroradiologist who would not find this reference to be useful, or a practising physician who would not benefit from having the anatomical information and clinical significance. I recommend this book in the highest possible terms." (J.-L. Dumas, Surgical Radiologic Anatomy, Vol. 26 (1), 2004) "In this book the vascular anatomy with its many variations is described in a detailed, but very elegant and fascinating way. It has a provocative way of presentation by which the student is stimulated to think over and over again what has been read. … Lay-out, printing and illustrations, including many helpful schemes, are of high quality. The references and subject index are complete and accessible. This book is strongly advocated for all neuroscientists active in the field of vascular diseases … ." (D.A. Bosch, Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, Vol. 104 (2), 2002) "The long-awaited arrival of this book is a publishing event. … improved layout and often clearer legends for the figures do add to its readability. … I would recommend the purchase of the new volume, even if its predecessor is far from being redundant. In short, I love this stimulating erudite … book, ... what would I do without it? This book will be an important guide … and as such belongs in every neuroradiology department." (J. Bhattacharya, Neuroradiology, Vol. 44 (6), 2002)
