Neurovascular Surgical Techniques

The brain, kidneys, intestines, arms, and legs receive oxygen-rich blood from the heart through arteries, and veins carry the blood back to the heart. Blood vessels that are damaged, injured, or deformed can cause bleeding or circulation difficulties, leading to strokes or headaches. Neurovascular or cerebrovascular diseases refer to all those diseases in which a part of the brain is temporarily or permanently impacted due to bleeding or limited blood flow. Blood vessel constriction, clot development, blockage, and blood vessel rupture may be caused due to restricted blood flow. Neurovascular conditions that affect the blood vessels of the brain, spine, and spinal cord can be treated using open surgical procedures or minimally invasive surgical procedures. Various surgical options for neurovascular conditions include microsurgery, endovascular surgery and radiosurgery. This book includes some of the most vital pieces of work being conducted across the world on topics related to neurovascular surgical techniques. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to students and experts alike.
