Based in part on the interventional radiology review course offered at UCSF, this comprehensive how-to and review discusses the basic techniques of vascular diagnosis (vascular ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography, and contrast angiography); vascular interventions (angioplasty, fibrinolysis, embolization, stent placement, arthrectomy, TIPS, and IVC filters); and non-vascular applications (nephrostomy, abscess drainage, biopsy, biliary drainage, and gastrostomy). Chapters on vascular and non-vascular interventions include authoritative tips on indications, contraindications, step-by-step technique, and management of complications. Written by well-regarded experts, this volume is ideal as an authoritative resource for exam review or as an on-the-spot reference.An interactive CD-ROM is available as part of the University of California San Francisco Interactive Radiology Series.
