Summary:

Providing a clear foundation as to what a clot is, how it forms, and the most recent approaches to treatment the all-inclusive resource, Thrombus and Stroke, covers: current pharmacological interventions and latest findings on neurovascular disease, clinical management of stroke, the fundamental science of clot formation and the pharmacokinetics of thrombolysis thrombogenicity of vascular implants, review of in vivo stroke modeling, and the methods to assess the efficacy of anticoagulation therapy, clinical impact of thrombus as it pertains to stroke and the most recent clinical and minimally-invasive approaches to this disorder. From the latest imaging techniques to endovascular treatments, this comprehensive and advanced volume provides critical data needed for diagnosis and treatment.
