Based in part on the interventional radiology review course offered at UCSF, this comprehensive "how-to" and review discusses the basic techniques of vascular diagnosis (vascular ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography, and contrast angiography); vascular interventions (angioplasty, fibrinolysis, embolization, stent placement, arthrectomy, TIPS, and IVC filters); and non-vascular applications (nephrostomy, abscess drainage, biopsy, biliary drainage, and gastrostomy). Chapters on vascular and non-vascular interventions include authoritative tips on indications, contraindications, step-by-step technique, and management of complications. Written by well-regarded experts, this volume is ideal as an authoritative resource for exam review or as an on-the-spot reference.An interactive CD-ROM is available as part of the University of California San Francisco Interactive Radiology Series. See Media Products Section for details.

For those of us who don't crave the pseudo-surgical lifestyle of vascular and interventional radiology and are perfectly happy in our diagnostic shoes, this book offers all we really need to know. Yes, Abrams or Castaneda have the advantage of volume and detail, but this book provides an excellent overview of the subspecialty. It's better for a general brush up than intensive orals review but the majority of answers for the written board can be found in its pages. Overall, a good book (and small enough to be portable).
