Venous Thromboembolism (eBook)

<p><strong>A high-yield guide for interventional radiologists on venous thromboembolic disease</strong><br></p><p>Epidemiological analyses estimate venous thromboembolism (VTE) impacts as many as 600,000 individuals annually in the United States, and it is the leading preventable cause of in-hospital mortality. Diagnosing VTE based on clinical symptoms is generally unreliable due to nonspecific signs, while patient management is influenced by thrombosis severity, location, and underlying risk factors. <em>Practical Guides in Interventional Radiology: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)</em> by renowned radiologists Jeffrey Weinstein, Jeet Minocha, and Joshua D. Dowell focuses on helping clinicians improve VTE diagnosis, decision-making, and procedural outcomes.</p><p>The first chapter covers interventional radiology basics that lay the groundwork for effective management of patients with VTE, including pathogenesis, patient diagnosis, and medical therapies. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss pharmacologic treatment and imaging of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary emboli (PE), respectively. Chapters 4 to 9 provide practical guidance on patient selection and workup, basic and complex interventional techniques, and management of potential complications for a variety of pathologies and interventions. The final chapter presents a Q&A and VTE-related safety issues.</p><p><strong>Key features:</strong></p><ul><li>An authoritative review of VTE by a curated collection of experts in the field<br></li><li>A reader-friendly primer on the evaluation and management of DVT, PE, and intracardiac thrombus based on evidence-based practices<br></li><li>Practical guidance on deployment and retrieval of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters<br></li></ul><p>This resource is essential reading for interventional radiology residents and fellows, as well as early-career clinicians who are intricately involved in the management of patients with deep venous disease.</p><p>This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on <a href='https://medone.thieme.com./'>https://medone.thieme.com.</a></p><p><strong>Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.</strong></p>
