Note publique d'information : This updated second edition of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Imaging and Intervention provides
a comprehensive account of the state of the art in the diagnosis and treatment of
acute ischemic stroke. The basic format of the first edition has been retained, with
sections on fundamentals such as pathophysiology and causes, imaging techniques and
interventions. However, each chapter has been revised to reflect the important recent
progress in advanced neuroimaging and the use of interventional tools. In addition,
new chapters are included on the clinical ischemic penumubra and the use of advanced
neuroimaging to select patients for neurointerventional procedures. All of the authors
are internationally recognized experts and members of the interdisciplinary stroke
team at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The text is
supported by numerous informative illustrations, and ease of reference is ensured
through the inclusion of suitable tables. This book will serve as a unique source
of up-to-date information for neurologists, emergency physicians, radiologists and
other health care providers who care for the patient with acute ischemic stroke.
