From the reviews: "This is a handbook of interventional radiology techniques used in angioplasty and stenting procedures. ... The book is a useful addition to the more comprehensive, disease-specific interventional radiology textbooks. It will be of most benefit to radiology residents and fellows training in interventional radiology, but it also will be helpful to practicing general radiologists who perform interventional procedures. ... It will serve as a useful and quick reference in the interventional radiology lab and will complement the comprehensive textbooks in this field." (Dennis Kay, Doody's Review Service, September, 2010)
