Built for interventional radiologists, vascular specialists, trainees, and advanced clinicians working across arterial, venous, dialysis-access, trauma, and complication pathways, this handbook connects vascular anatomy, flow physiology, imaging interpretation, and device strategy to the decisions made in the angiography suite and longitudinal clinic. It moves from aortic aneurysm and dissection planning through carotid stroke prevention, limb salvage, venous reconstruction, renal and visceral intervention, hemodialysis access, and procedural rescue—always asking what the image means for perfusion, bleeding risk, organ viability, access preservation, and follow-up.
• Decode aortic CTA findings — translate aneurysm neck anatomy, iliac landing zones, dissection malperfusion, and endoleak patterns into repair or surveillance pathways.
• Manage carotid and supra-aortic disease — connect duplex, CTA, MRA, plaque behavior, symptom status, and embolic protection strategy to stroke-prevention decisions.
• Build limb-salvage logic — move from ABI, tibial runoff, pedal targets, wounds, and infection control to revascularization plans that serve tissue healing.
• Treat venous obstruction and thromboembolism — separate acute DVT, post-thrombotic obstruction, iliocaval disease, PE intervention, and filter management by physiology and risk.
• Plan renal and visceral interventions — distinguish incidental stenosis from renovascular hypertension, mesenteric ischemia, graft dysfunction, pseudoaneurysm, and hemorrhage.
• Salvage dialysis access — use mapping, fistulography, central venography, access flow, and cannulation logic to manage maturation failure, stenosis, thrombosis, steal, infection, and high-flow circuits.
• Rescue procedural complications — organize bleeding, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, thrombosis, rupture, access failure, and device complications into immediate action and surveillance.
Use it to make vascular images actionable—and to carry each intervention through to durable patient care.
