Changing Aspects in Stroke Surgery: Aneurysms, Dissection, Moyamoya Angiopathy and EC-IC Bypass

What is arterial dissection? What is Moyamoya angiopathy? What is the state-of-the-art of AVM treatment? Readers will find answers to these questions in this book. They will also be informed about the state-of-the-art treatment in the daily stroke therapy.
