The format of this case-based book was developed to stimulate consideration of the differential diagnosis as the reader reviews the history and examination narratives of each of the 83 cases. Videos of autoimmune movement disorders supplement the clinical descriptions, where pertinent. In addition, test results from radiology, electrophysiology, and laboratory studies are presented, and treatment and outcome data are also included. Clinical pearls and radiologic clues to assist informed diagnostic decision-making are emphasized. Each case is followed by discussion, including therapeutic guidance and key take-home points.

More than 150 multiple-choice questions with answers are also given to test readers’ comprehension and retention. This new addition to the Mayo Clinic Scientific Press series is a comprehensive volume on neuroimmunology that will stimulate and inform those aiming for clinical mastery.

Connecting with Students Online: Strategies for Remote Teaching & Learning

Stroke is the most prevalent cerebrovascular emergency, impacting an estimated 15 million people worldwide every year. Endovascular treatment (EVT) of ischemic stroke has expanded at an unforeseen pace, with EVT the most common neurointerventional procedure performed at most large centers. Endovascular Management of Ischemic Stroke: A Case-Based Approach by renowned stroke pioneer Vitor Mendes Pereira and distinguished co-editors features contributions from a “who’s who” of global experts. This practical resource provides straightforward guidance for clinicians who need to learn and master state-of-the-art endovascular interventions reflecting the new, evidenced-based treatment paradigm for acute stroke.

This carefully crafted reference takes readers on a journey from the early building blocks that led to modern stroke interventions to meticulous step-by-step descriptions of the latest approaches. Fifty high-yield cases mirror real-life scenarios trainees and professionals are likely to encounter in clinical practice. Seven sections encompass a full spectrum of diverse patient presentations, anatomical variations, advanced techniques, complex pathologies, complications, and stroke mimics.

Key Highlights

• Discussion of emerging techniques likely to stand the test of time such as SAVE, ARTS, transradial access, and transcarotid access
• Stroke mimics important for differential diagnoses, including hemiplegic migraine, MELAS, RCVS, seizure, and more
• An appendix that covers fundamental terms, trials, and tools

This cutting-edge resource is essential reading for trainee and early-career interventionalists, as well as seasoned practitioners in interventional radiology, neuroradiology, endovascular neurosurgery, and interventional neurology.

Neurointerventional Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach

The field of neurointerventional surgery is rapidly expanding with an ever-accelerating pace of technological innovations. While industry plays a significant role in designing new technology and defining indications for its use, practitioners need to evaluate and determine the most efficacious treatments for their patients. Neurointerventional Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach by renowned endovascular neurosurgeons Min Park, M. Yashar S. Kalani, and Michael F. Stiefel examines the most common disease states in neurointerventional surgery through a critical lens. The unique text leverages evidenced-based data to inform treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.

This medical book is organized by 5 sections and 32 chapters, including the latest state-of-the-art interventions. Each of the chapters provides critical analysis of the “landmark papers” that established the foundation and standards for modern neurointerventional practice. An example is the rapidly changing understanding of large vessel occlusions in ischemic stroke that now strongly supports mechanical thrombectomy as a viable and important part of the treatment armamentarium.

Key Highlights

• Contributions from internationally recognized leaders in academic neurointerventional surgery provide insightful and analytic perspectives
• Encompasses the full continuum of neurointerventional procedures in one resource, from hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke to neoplasms and spine conditions
• The reader-friendly structure and chapter formatting facilitates understanding of often complicated decision-making

The evidenced-based, multifaceted approach to neurointerventional surgery presented in this textbook makes it vital reading for residents, fellows, and practitioners in neurosurgery, as well as fellows in interventional neuroradiology and interventional neurology.
