This revision incorporates endovascular and nonoperative treatment throughout the book. It has been extensively revised by many new, international authors-led by Drs. Jack Cronenwett and K. Wayne Johnston-to meet the needs of surgeons, interventionalists, and vascular medicine specialists. Published in association with the Society for Vascular Surgery.
This book aims to provide non-specialist healthcare practitioners with current, focused and objective information on the most common vascular diseases encountered in daily clinical practice. In day-to-day clinical practice many healthcare practitioners do not have a working knowledge of the most common vascular diseases that frequently arise in patient care. Some of these topics include: aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, diabetic foot, venous thromboembolism, cerebrovascular disease, aortic dissection, and acute limb ischemia. These commonly encountered vascular diseases are becoming public health issues due to their high morbidity and mortality as well as increasing healthcare costs. Since patients with vascular diseases are often referred to non-specialists, the general practitioner must know how to proper handle the most common vascular diseases encountered in daily clinical practice. For each disease the concept, epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis and treatment are described, followed by essential advice on what the non-specialist can do for the patient and when to refer the patient to a specialist.
This new addition to the acclaimed Mastery of Surgery series guides readers step by step through all vascular surgical procedures, both open and endovascular. In the tradition of the series, this text/atlas is written by the world's master surgeons and richly illustrated throughout with detailed drawings, photographs, and imaging scans. Coverage of each procedure begins with indications, contraindications, preoperative preparation, anatomy, and patient management, followed by step-by-step descriptions of operative technique and pitfalls. For diseases in which open and endovascular approaches are used for different indications, both approaches are presented with discussions of when and why each is preferable. Each chapter ends with an editor's comment.
The field of performing transcatheter interventions to treat vascular lesions has exploded over the past 20 years. Not only has the technology changed, especially in the arena of balloon/stent devices, but the techniques of approaching complex lesions has evolved over the past decade. Lesions that no one would have imagined treating back in the 1990's are now being done routinely in the catheterization suite. This book provides an update on the current techniques and devices used to treat a wide variety of lesions. Though, at first, the outward appearance of the topics appears to be varied, they are all related by the common thread of treating vascular lesions. We hope, by publishing this bo...

This report reviews the literature on the benefits and risks of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery, provides a comprehensive list of potential indications for AAA surgery, and presents the ratings of appropriateness and necessity of those indications by a panel of experts. The ratings of appropriateness and necessity are the final results of a two-stage modified Delphi process and were assigned by a multispecialty panel of physicians with expertise in the diagnosis and management of AAA.
