Main description:

Providing a clear foundation as to what a clot is, how it forms, and the most recent approaches to treatment, Thrombus and Stroke is an all-inclusive resource covering:

The fundamental science of clot formation and the pharmacokinetics of thrombolysis
The clinical impact of thrombus as it pertains to stroke and the most recent clinical and minimally-invasive approaches to this disorder
Current pharmacological interventions and the latest findings on neurovascular disease
Clinical management of stroke
Thrombogenicity of vascular implants
In vivo stroke modeling
Methods to assess the efficacy of anticoagulation therapy

From the latest imaging techniques to endovascular treatments, this comprehensive, advanced volume provides critical data needed for diagnosis and treatment. The valuable information will assist physicians in the prevention of future strokes and complications and will aid in improving patient outcomes throughout treatment.
