Handbook of Vascular
and Non- Vascular Interventions

About 25 years ago, a few pioneering radiologists began performing “special procedures” in pediatric patients. Since that time, the practice of pediatric interventional radiology (PIR) has come a long way. It has spread throughout children’s hospitals around the world; dedicated fellowship programs have been developed; the number of pediatric interventional radiologists continues to grow, and the Society for Pediatric Interventional Radiology was recently created. During that time, the number and types of PIR procedures have continued to expand and evolve. With the ongoing evolution of our specialty in mind, we welcome you to Pediatric Interventional Radiology : Vascular and Non – Vascular Interventions . To our knowledge, this is the first textbook solely dedicated to the array of interventional procedures performed in infants and children.
