"The book is well referenced and reasonably indexed, with a good ratio of illustrations to text. ... It is quite quick to read, with the authors' enthusiasm for the subject carrying the reader. Bar highly technical aspects, it is an accessible source of information on the current state of play in stroke intervention for other interested professionals with some prior knowledge of the subject, such as radiologists reporting stroke imaging, senior radiology and stroke trainees, and neuro-interventional radiographers."
