The Best New Interventional Radiology Books To Read In 2025

This publication provides a general overview of interventional radiology (IR). It presents an evidence-based rationale for establishing, improving and maintaining an IR service consistent with current clinical knowledge benchmarks. A summary is provided of necessary elements for the establishment of an IR clinical service and to ensure its sustainability. The publication includes information on specific challenges faced especially but not uniquely in emerging nations, as well as a defined list of expert recommendations.

Safety and quality standards are emphasized in addition to necessary funding, human resources, education, training and certification/recertification, as well as involvement of the main professional societies.

A high-yield guide for interventional radiologists on venous thromboembolic disease. Epidemiological analyses estimate venous thromboembolism (VTE) impacts as many as 600,000 individuals annually in the United States, and it is the leading preventable cause of in-hospital mortality. Diagnosing VTE based on clinical symptoms is generally unreliable due to nonspecific signs, while patient management is influenced by thrombosis severity, location, and underlying risk factors. Venous Thromboembolism: A Practical Guide in Interventional Radiology by renowned radiologists Jeffrey Weinstein, Jeet Minocha, and Joshua D.

Dowell focuses on helping clinicians improve VTE diagnosis, decision-making, and procedural outcomes. The first chapter covers interventional radiology basics that lay the groundwork for effective management of patients with VTE, including pathogenesis, patient diagnosis, and medical therapies. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss pharmacologic treatment and imaging of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary emboli (PE), respectively. Chapters 4 to 9 provide practical guidance on patient selection and workup, basic and complex interventional techniques, and management of potential complications for a variety of pathologies and interventions. The final chapter presents a Q&A and VTE-related safety issues. Key features:An authoritative review of VTE by a curated collection of experts in the fieldA reader-friendly primer on the evaluation and management of DVT, PE, and intracardiac thrombus based on evidence-based practicesPractical guidance on deployment and retrieval of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters. This resource is essential reading for interventional radiology residents and fellows, as well as early-career clinicians who are intricately involved in the management of patients with deep venous disease.

Interventional radiology encompasses image-guided invasive medical procedures to diagnose and treat various pathologies. Vascular interventional neuroradiology uses cerebral angiography to treat vascular pathologies of the central nervous system. Angiography, which can be converted into endovascular treatment, enables interventions such as embolization, which treats vascular malformations by catheterization. Endovascular techniques offer therapeutic alternatives for a variety of conditions, including cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and acute strokes.
