Thic case-based guide covers a wealth of challenging concepts in interventional radiology and endovascular procedures. From the endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms to the ablation of lung kidney tumours, the title provides evidence-based information, clinical tips, and expert comments.

Miltiadis Krokidis is a Consultant in Vascular and Interventional Radiology at Cambridge University Hospitals in Cambridge, UK. He is a board certified practitioner of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (European Board of Interventional Radiology) by the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) and a Fellow of the European Society of Abdominal and Gastrointestinal Radiology (ESGAR). He has conducted a PhD on the use of covered metallic stents in malignant biliary disease. So far, he has authored and co-authored numerous papers in international peer-reviewed journals and textbooks and he has delivered invited lectures in international forums and symposia. This is his first book as an Editor.
