Produktbeschreibung

Cerebral Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas serves as an authoritative, comprehensive resource for these vascular lesions, describing their anatomy, diagnosis, natural history, and thorough treatment options. Rooted in well-illustrated anatomy and depictions of dAVFs, readers can better understand their pathophysiology, historical discovery, and avenues for treatment, including embolization, surgery, and radiosurgery. Imaging modalities are also discussed extensively as well as the management of these lesions. This reference is appropriate for neurosurgeons, neurologists, interventional radiologists and intensivists that manage these patients, providing clarity, and at the same time, comprehensiveness.

• Describes the anatomy, diagnosis, and imaging modalities for dAVFs
• Provides a thorough overview of treatment options and patient care
• Features unprecedented focus on fistulas of this type and their pathophysiology
• Broadly appeals to practicing physicians, surgeons, neurologists, radiologists, interventionalists, intensivists, residents, advanced medical students and anyone seeking a comprehensive text for these lesions

Autorenporträt

Dr. Gross is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh specializing in cerebrovascular disease. His clinical and research interests include the comprehensive management of aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous malformations, and cavernous malformations of the brain and spinal cord. He completed his internship and neurosurgical residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital/Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School and served as an endovascular fellow at the Barrow Neurological Institute. Dr. Gross has published over 100 papers in hemorrhagic stroke topics with specifically over a dozen papers exclusively on cerebral dAVFs. These papers span their natural history, embolization, surgery and radiosurgery and incorporate the largest populations of patients harboring dAVFs published to date. He also serves on a dedicated international research consortium exclusively to dAVFs.

Dr. Albuquerque completed his neurosurgery training at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he also completed an additional year of endovascular training. He joined Barrow Neurological Institute at Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in 1999, where he completed two years of additional training in endovascular neurosurgery and cerebrovascular neurosurgery. He is one of two endovascular neurosurgeons practicing at Barrow. Dr. Albuquerque has been recognized as one of the outstanding endovascular neurosurgeons in the Southwestern United States and has extensive experience treating cerebral dAVFs over decades. He has given multiple national and international lectures on the subject and has even performed live embolization of dAVFs for an international audience.

Dr. Jankowitz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. He joined after completing the department's seven-year residency program and cerebrovascular fellowship. This unique skill set allows unbiased treatment options ranging from carotid stenting versus carotid endarterectomy, aneurysm coiling versus clipping, and AVM embolization versus resection. Dr. Jankowitz has a keen interest in treating ischemic cerebrovascular disease including carotid or vertebral artery revascularization and acute stroke interventions. He works closely with Tudor Jovin, MD, director of the UPMC Stroke Institute, to evaluate and treat hemorrhagic and ischemic disease in a multidisciplinary cerebrovascular practice. He has extensive experience treating dAVFs from a multimodality approach including embolization, surgery, and radiosurgery with multiple publications on the topic as well.
