Overview
With the first coronary balloon angioplasty in 1977 came the challenge of the wound healing process of retenosis. Together these events spawned a new field of medicine, vascular brachytherapy, conceived to resolve this leading complication of vascular intervention. In the ensuing 20 year quest to cure restenosis, radiation vascular therapy appears to be the next logical step, but it still needs validation.
Just two years after the first edition, this second edition of Vascular Brachytherapy fulfils the promise to provide updated information about the meteoric progress made from recent collaborative investigations within this field.
Migrating from ideas and pre-clinical observation to clinical practice, this second edition contains 48 new or revised chapters contributed by well known medical experts from widely disparate fields of medicine. Scientists, cardiologists, radiation safety officers, regulators, engineers and technicians substantiate their observations with clinical and non-clinical data, basic radiation principles and issues from an economic, regulatory and safety perspective.
Very little is known about the immediate patient risks, environmental concerns and long term pathobiological responses. For a field which is still in its honeymoon phase due to early technology success, this single volume will serve as a long-range educational tool and trace, giving the field of vascular brachytherapy the intense and continuous evaluation it deserves.
For an audience of clinicians, scientists and researchers from all the represented medical disciplines, this book provides in depth information and exposure to subjects within these diverse areas of expertise.
