The goal of Hemangiomas and Vascular Malformations: An Atlas of Diagnosis and Treatment by Raul Mattassi, Dirk A. Loose, Massimo Vaghi, and J. Leonel Villavicencio is to guide the reader through the difficult field of hemangiomas and vascular malformations, help him to understand them and give him answers to questions, mainly about practical approaches to these diseases. All the authors have made an effort to explain their topics in the simplest way with text and pictures.
This book will be a practical approach to the world of vascular tumors. The complexity of this world is related to the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations, necessitating multidisciplinary competences in order to achieve a correct diagnosis and treatment. The complexity of the clinical manifestations is approached by introducing a clear classification of hemangiomas and vascular malformations. For both issues, diagnostic imaging and therapeutic procedures are presented. Laser, interventional radiological and surgical techniques are explained according to the type of vascular tumor and its localization.
The book is addressed to all professionals who meet vascular tumors in their daily clinical practice and need up-to-date references for these pathologies.
