Synopsis:
Neurovascular procedures represent an important aspect of a surgeon's practice. The recent favorable results of clinical trials on carotid endarterectomy for stroke prevention have resulted in a growing demand for surgeons who perform this procedure. Surgeons can be prepared to meet the demand by learning the basic principles, diagnostic criteria, and operative technique for carotid endarterectomy. Dr. Loftus shares his insight and extensive experience in this clinically oriented volume. Numerous radiographic examples illustrate the subtleties of identifying the diseased artery, as well as anatomic variations that make diagnosis and surgery even more challenging. The technique is illustrated with accurate line drawings accompanied by color photographs, and the text throughout is an easy-reading, concise narrative. With an aging population, the market is asking for more prevention-oriented procedures. Carotid endarterectomy helps prevent one of the most deadly and debilitating conditions. This book is essential reading for all neurological and vascular surgeons.
