This new edition offers a clinically oriented review of digestive disease interventions. At the present time, no book outside the first edition exclusively addresses minimally invasive interventional procedures to diagnose and treat digestive diseases. This omission is surprising since the field of Interventional Radiology (IR) continues to expand and evolve as it pushes the boundaries to develop new techniques and applications of minimally invasive therapies to replace high-risk surgical techniques. In order to reflect the increased use and preference for these procedures, this new edition increases its emphasis on clinical education for the interventional management of digestive diseases.

This book comprehensively covers diagnosis and management of medical conditions that represent the foundation of IR practice, such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, portal hypertension, organ transplantation, biliary and pancreatic disease, mesenteric ischemia, primary and secondary liver malignancies and percutaneous placement of catheters for drainage, diversion, decompression and enteric feeding. All chapters have been updated to include advancements in cornerstone, noninvasive modalities and technologies critical to the diagnosis and management of hepatobiliary disease such as MRI/MRCP, cone-beam CT, intraprocedural imaging and navigation tools, combined CT/fluoroscopy suites, as well as the incorporation of artificial intelligence to IR practice. In addition, new chapters are dedicated to abdominal trauma, gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, malignant upper GI obstruction, malignant lower GI obstruction, immunotherapy, and combination therapies for liver cancers.

This new edition is a valuable reference to all interventional radiologists, as well as to the myriad of physicians of other specialties that manage patients with digestive diseases such as gastroenterologists, hepatologists and surgeons.
