Decision-Making in Neurovascular Disease: Endovascular and Microsurgical Treatment of Stroke and Brain Aneurysms [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

Every minute a brain is without blood, nearly two million neurons die. In the high-stakes world of neurovascular medicine, the difference between a patient who walks out of the hospital and one who never regains consciousness often comes down to a single clinical decision — made under pressure, with incomplete information, in the early hours of the morning. The question is: are you equipped to make that call?Decision-Making in Neurovascular Disease: Endovascular and Microsurgical Treatment of Stroke and Brain Aneurysms by Dr. Elias V. Carroway is a comprehensive, clinically grounded textbook written for neurosurgeons, interventional radiologists, and advanced trainees in neurovascular care. This is not a surface-level overview — it is a deep, evidence-based resource that integrates the full spectrum of cerebrovascular disease into one authoritative reference.the book covers:Acute Ischemic Stroke — from IV thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy to imaging selection, time window expansion, and post-reperfusion managementCarotid Artery Disease — pathogenesis, diagnostic evaluation, carotid endarterectomy, stenting, and comparative evidence for patient selectionAnterior & Posterior Circulation Aneurysms — microsurgical clipping, endovascular coiling, wide-neck aneurysm management, basilar apex strategies, and flow diversionComplex & Giant Aneurysms — bypass surgery, hemodynamic considerations, and multidisciplinary planningAVMs and Arteriovenous Fistulae — Spetzler-Martin grading, embolization, microsurgical resection, and multimodal treatmentCavernous Malformations — genetics, seizure risk, imaging, and surgical indicationsHypervascular Intracranial Tumors — preoperative embolization, meningioma management, and surgical planningEach chapter is structured around real clinical decision points — not just theory — walking practitioners through structured algorithms, surgical pearls, endovascular strategies, risk stratification frameworks, and outcomes data drawn from current evidence. What sets this book apart is its commitment to bridging the gap between knowing and doing. Dr. Carroway understands that the cognitive burden of managing a critically time-sensitive neurological emergency is too great to navigate on intuition alone. That's why every chapter is designed to translate complex evidence into practical, protocol-driven frameworks that hold up in the pressure of real clinical environments.Whether you are evaluating a wake-up stroke patient with an unknown onset time, planning intervention for a giant fusiform aneurysm, or deciding between open surgery and endovascular therapy for a carotid stenosis, this textbook gives you the clinical reasoning tools — not just the facts — to navigate each scenario with confidence and precision.Illustrated for clarity, comprehensive in scope, and grounded in the latest evidence, this is the kind of reference you reach for before a complex case — and the kind you study to become the clinician your patients deserve. Whether you are early in your neurovascular training or a seasoned practitioner looking to sharpen your decision-making edge, Decision-Making in Neurovascular Disease belongs on your desk. Add it to your library today — because the next critical case won't wait. Read more
