With the first coronary balloon angioplasty in 1977 came the challenge of the wound healing process of restenosis. 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 for a cure to restenosis, radiation vascular therapy appears to be the next logical step, but it still needs validation. The new Vascular Brachytherapy, 3rd Edition continues to provide a comprehensive, engaging picture of this rapidly expanding and evolving field. This collaborative effort contains 61 new or revised chapters by renowned experts from a vast range of medical fields, with over one-third more material than previous editions. Scientists, cardiologists, radiation oncologists, radiobiologists, pathologists, vascular surgeons, radiation safety officers, regulators, engineers, and technicians each take turns presenting carefully considered investigations and observations, supplemented with clinical and nonclinical data, basic radiation principles, and issues from an economic, regulatory, and safety perspective. 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.

Written by the foremost experts in the field, this volume is a comprehensive text and practical reference on contemporary brachytherapy. The book provides detailed, site-specific information on applications and techniques of brachytherapy in the head and neck, central nervous system, breast, thorax, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary tract, as well as on gynecologic brachytherapy, low dose rate and high dose rate sarcoma brachytherapy, vascular brachytherapy, and pediatric applications. The book thoroughly describes and compares the four major techniques used in brachytherapy—intracavity, interstitial, surface-dose or mold therapy, and transluminal. Chapters detail particular techniques that are appropriate in specific clinical situations.

Vascular brachytherapy for the prevention of restenosis is a new frontier in the field of interventional cardiology, as well as in radiation oncology, with use of radiation therapy for benign diseases. Given the advances in this field since publication of the first edition, Ron Waksman and Patrick Serruys have expanded the focus of this new edition with additional chapters on new machines and techniques. There are several new chapters on clinical trials and on safety tips. The book comes with an accompanying CD-ROM: 'The Thoraxcenter Brachytherapy Devices Big Parade' by Stephane Carlier, Ron Waksman and Patrick W Serruys.

Peripheral vascular disease is a common, disabling malady, and patients seeking treatment may turn to their cardiologist for advice and treatment. Conventional treatment has always been medical management and, inevitably, surgical bypass, even amputation. Stents have had a significantly high impact on endoluminal treatment outcomes by preventing injury to the lumen, reducing the potential for hyperplasia and restenosis, as well as the likelihood of plaque disruption and embolization. This second edition brings together a combination of all the current evidence-based information with personal experience and is presented by a team of distinguished operators. Short Contents
