Gold winner in 2014 IBPA Ben Franklin Awards! ... the images are second-to-none in their ability to present the subject material. ... The authors have made this atlas an efficient and informative read. It is this pairing of operative photographs with high-quality illustrations that raises this text to a level superior to that of its competitors. -- American Journal of Neuroradiology A highly-anticipated addition to Thieme's classic color atlas collection, Color Atlas of Cerebral Revascularization focuses on cerebral bypass techniques pioneered by leading surgeons at the world-renowned Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Each procedure is presented with intraoperative photographs and exquisite anatomical illustrations to help surgeons master the complex microsurgical anatomy and subtle surgical technique used in managing the potential onset and condition of stroke and other causes of cerebral ischemia. Key Features: Side-by-side photo and illustration format aids in interpretation of intricate surgical procedures More than 1300 figures elucidate clinical cases from the Barrow Neurological Institute and other centers of neurosurgical excellence A DVD, featuring more than 30 related surgical cases and narrated by the authors, is included with the book Cases illustrate how to successfully achieve revascularization for conditions such as moyamoya disease, recurrent aneurysms after endovascular treatment, giant aneurysms, vertebral artery insufficiency, and severe stenosis The vascular anatomy related to each bypass technique is illustrated and described in the sections showcasing the clinical cases treated by the technique This comprehensive atlas is an ideal reference for practicing neurosurgeons, neurosurgical residents, and interventional neuroradiologists, and it will be a relevant volume in their medical library for years to come.

In July 2004 specialists in neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurology and neurointensive care discussed recent trends at the 2nd Swiss Japanese Joint Conference on Cerebral Stroke Surgery, held in Zurich, Switzerland. New concepts were worked out during the conference and are published in this volume. The book starts with the topic intracranial aneurysms, discussing microsurgical and endovascular treatment modalities, as well as new surgical approaches. Further chapters deal with the management of unruptured aneurysms and with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Practical guidelines for vasospasm treatment are given. Together with contributions about arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, cerebral revascularization techniques and surgery related to the intracranial venous system a comprehensive overview about stroke surgery is given with an interdisciplinary approach. The book will be of interest for all specialists involved in therapy of cerebrovascular disease.

Most cerebrovascular diseases such as intracranial aneurysms (IA), arterio-venous malformations (AVM) or dural fistulas (AVF) can effectively be treated with microsurgical techniques (i.e. clipping) or with endovascular procedures (i.e. coiling). In certain patients, also gamma-knife (radiation) treatment may play a role. Sometimes, the treatment strategy may consist of a staged approach that combines some of the above-mentioned techniques in a serial manner. Likewise, also spinal vascular pathologies (i.e. spinal vascular malformations, spinal dural AV-fistulas or spinal cavernomas) may often be approached with a single treatment modality or, more rare with a staged approach. In selected cases however, simultaneous treatment combining open (micro-)surgical and endovascular procedures in one single hybrid operation may be favorable. So far only few series reported indications, potential benefits, or pitfalls with hybrid approaches in cerebrovascular surgery. This collection aims to summarise reported experiences with hybrid approaches that combine simultaneous endovascular and microsurgical interventions in a setting of vascular diseases in the brain and in the spine. It will put an emphasis on indication, benefits and potential harms of combined diagnostic-therapeutic procedures (i.e. intraoperative control DSA after clipping), advanced endovascular strategies enabled through surgical access (i.e. direct arterial punctuation after previous surgical vessel exposure) or combined therapeutic operations (i.e. proximal control through balloon occlusion during clipping).
