Reviews

From the reviews: This book provides a comprehensive review of not only the state of the art of portal vein embolisation but the whole process of assessing and bringing patients to resection. As such, from a radiological perspective it will be of interest to the diagnostic radiologist assessing for resectability and measuring liver volumes and the interventionalist performing the embolisation. (Graham Munneke, RAD Magazine, April, 2013) Venous Embolization of the Liver fills a useful niche and provides a thorough review of venous embolization of the liver, especially as it relates to optimization of the results associated with partial hepatectomies. The abstract of each chapter of this well organized and in-depth work also provides the reader significant insight into the content of each chapter. Reading Venous Embolization of the Liver is a worthwhile endeavor for the interventional radiologist, hepatobiliary surgeon, or advanced trainee involved or interested in the treatment of hepatobiliary disease. (Sean Kalagher, Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Vol. 24 (4), April, 2013) Venous Embolization of the Liver: Radiologic and Surgical Practice, has been Highly Commended in the Radiology category of the 2012 BMA Medical Book Awards
