Vascular Surgery Surgical and Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Aneurysms

This first textbook of the 21st century on surgical and endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms identifies the broad spectrum of issues involved, including epidemiology and natural history, quality of life and safety regulations with regards to new techniques. Clinical outcomes of patients undergoing surgical repair of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms have dramatically improved over the last 10 years, due to the use of several adjunctive and protective measures, such as recent endovascular techniques developed to treat aortic dissections, including ischemic complications and thoracic aortic aneurysms. Written by leading experts in their fields, the book''s 32 chapters are organized into 6 main sections that address general considerations, surgical treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms, endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms, surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, and special considerations. Several chapters address specific subjects related to video-assisted and laparoscopic techniques, surgical risks and arterial impairment. Endovascular topics such as pre- and postoperative imaging, currently available devices, endoleaks, intermediate and long-term results and complications, renal involvement and secondary interventions are also extensively discussed.Clinical and surgical specialists interested in endovascular and surgical intervention, as well as any physician, surgeon, or medical professional involved in the vascular field will benefit from this detailed, current review.Branchereau, Alain is the author of 'Vascular Surgery Surgical and Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Aneurysms' with ISBN 9780879934545 and ISBN 0879934549.
