Overview

Greater understanding of gastrointestinal disease has resulted in an evolving array of minimally invasive and noninvasive techniques. Significant advances have minimized patient comfort, improved clinical outcomes, and minimized morbidity. Interventional radiologists are integral to the management of patients with a wide range of digestive disorders, often providing a critical or sole therapeutic option. The field has evolved from a procedure-based radiology subspecialty to a patient-based, clinical specialty working in concert with internists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and surgeons. Digestive Disease Interventions, edited by Baljendra Kapoor and Jonathan Lorenz, fills an unmet need for a comprehensive resource covering interventional approaches. Throughout 30 succinct yet comprehensive chapters, top experts detail image-guided gastrointestinal interventions. A full spectrum of pathologies are encompassed from benign refractory ascites and biliary strictures to hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and more. Book Features: Management and treatment of portal hypertension including disease knowledge, shunt use, and obliteration techniques Updates on recent advances and future directions such as islet cell transplantation and obesity and bariatric embolization State-of-the-art management of liver cancer: GI imaging, staging, ablation and embolization, liver transplants, and Y-90 Treatment of acute cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, and choledocholithiasis 640 high-quality illustrations and halftones elucidate techniques This book, which features major name Dr. Kapoor, is written in collaboration with the Society of Interventional Radiology
