The Atlas of Neuroendovascular Devices: Companion Textbook

The Neuroendovascular Devices Atlas mapped the modern neurointerventional toolkit at a glance. This Companion Textbook is its narrative counterpart — where the Atlas shows, the Companion explains.

Across nineteen chapters, it expands every device family of the Atlas into full clinical text: the engineering rationale behind each design, the evidence that established its role, the technical nuances that separate routine use from expert use, and the complications every operator must anticipate. The two volumes are built to be read together — the Atlas open to the relevant schematic, the Companion open to the corresponding chapter.

The structure is deliberately uniform. Part I profiles the device families one by one — stent retrievers, aspiration systems, flow diverters, intrasaccular disruptors, coils, liquid embolics, carotid and intracranial stents, and the full access and closure toolkit — each chapter moving from foundational principles through device-by-device profiles, sizing matrices, and deployment sequences. Part II integrates those devices into strategy through an ecosystem-compatibility matrix, master selection decision trees, and a regulatory map spanning nine global markets. Part III distills the practical wisdom of the field into tips, tricks, and bailout maneuvers — closing with eleven fully illustrated cases drawn from real practice, including the cases that tested every principle in the preceding chapters.

Every chapter opens with Learning Objectives and is anchored in the landmark trials that define the evidence base. The result is a single volume that works three ways: a structured foundation for the fellow preparing for boards, a trusted bedside reference for the practicing operator, and a curriculum backbone for the program director.

Written by Prof. Ossama Yassin Mansour — Professor of Neurology and Interventional Neuroradiology, Director of the Stroke and Neurointervention Center at Alexandria University, and Founder and President of MENA-SINO — the Companion Textbook reflects a career at the intersection of clinical practice, education, and device innovation. It is built for the global neurointerventional community, with particular attention to the Middle East, North Africa, and the wider world too often underserved by Western-centric texts.
