Seven Bypasses: Tenets and Techniques for Revascularization is the
third book in a trilogy of bravura, technical nuance, and strategy
by master neurosurgeon Michael Lawton. Like his first two books on
aneurysms and AVMs, Seven Bypasses provides unparalleled firsthand
insights and guidance on complex pathologies in vascular
neurosurgery. The fundamentals of microsurgical anastomosis and the
craft of bypass surgery are explored in depth with clinical pearls
in every chapter. Lawton eloquently reveals the art of cerebral
revascularization in exquisite, metaphorical detail. The surgeon
performing bypass surgery is like an architect envisioning and
building a beautiful structure. A bypass is designed to fit the
patient's unique anatomy; blueprints designate anastomotic sites,
connections, and conduits; the anastomoses are constructed; and the
bypass is brought to life with pulsations, flow, and reperfusion.
The book highlights Lawton's aesthetic, which has evolved from the
common STA-MCA bypasses to IC-IC bypasses and elaborate arterial
reconstructions. Key Highlights Stepwise discussion of the three
anastomoses that form the building blocks of all bypasses:
end-to-side, side-to-side, and end-to-end anastomoses Ten tenets
delineate nuances of bypass: dexterity, preparing donors and
recipients, establishing a working zone, temporary arterial
occlusion, arteriotomy, suturing technique, tissue handling, knot
tying, patency, and aneurysm occlusion Step-by-step guidance on the
seven bypasses: EC-IC bypass, EC-IC interpositional bypass,
arterial reimplantation, in-situ bypass, reanastomosis, IC-IC
interpositional bypass, and combination bypass Strategies and
algorithms for aneurysms organized by specific anatomical sites,
including the MCA and the Sylvian cistern, ACA and the
interhemispheric cistern, basilar artery and the basal cisterns,
and PICA and the cisterna magna More than 1,500 radiographs,
operative photographs, and exquisite illustrations drawn by artist
Kenneth Xavier Probst elucidate anatomy, surgical principles, and
clinical cases Dr. Lawton has bequeathed a remarkable treasure of
knowledge to current and future generations of neurosurgeons and
their patients. The Seven series is destined to be an enduring
classic for residents, fellows, and neurosurgeons specializing in
the treatment of cerebrovascular disease, and for those who believe
that manual dexterity and technical skill still matter.
