Main description:

Endovascular Neurosurgery represents a unique collaboration between contributors from a number of specialties, all of whom are concerned with the management of cerebrovascular disease. This provides a balanced account of the efficacy of interventional endovascular techniques in this group of conditions. As a result, Endovascular Neurosurgery will prove an invaluable account of a relatively new specialty and will be essential reading for neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurophysiologists and neuroanaesthetists.
