This book differs from several other presently available texts on interventional radiology in that it is explicitly not derived from the principles of catheter angiography. Abdominal interventional radiology depends as much, if not more, on ultrasonographic and computed tomographic guidance and, while perhaps less glamorous, also on conventional fluoroscopic guidance (for procedures such as urinary and biliary manipulations). Thus, while technical aspects of catheter design and manipulation can never be minimized, they are not the sole elements of successful interventional radiology in the abdomen. Relevant anatomy and pathophysiology, along with clinical aspects of medical and surgical care and thorough patient follow-up are of equal concern.
