In this era of evidence-based medicine, clinicians treat common conditions according to guidelines and protocols derived from the results of randomised clinical trials. This book will help vascular specialists when they have to treat a patient with an unusual condition where they may have no experience and there is little published scientific information. The Joint Vascular Research Group has collected rare vascular conditions in a register for over a decade, and this book reviews the experience, together with the best information from the surgical literature. The authors give a practical guide on the diagnosis and management of rare vascular disorders. This book should be read by everyone who manages patients with vascular disease.
Following the success of its last symposium and book entitled 'The Evidence for Vascular Surgery', the Joint Vascular Research Group (JVRG) brings you this book. The book describes recent developments and best practice in vascular surgery, with an emphasis on multi-disciplinary care pathways. It is based upon a symposium held in Sheffield in June 2002 that aimed to improve the provision and equality of care for patients with peripheral arterial and venous disease. Many members of the JVRG have contributed to this book, including vascular surgeons, anaesthetists, radiologists, nurses and vascular technologists. The book consists of five sections covering the main areas of management of patients with peripheral vascular disease: Outpatients and medical management; Vascular imaging and endovascular intervention; Vascular surgery; Anaesthesia and theatres; Organisational aspects of care.
Reviews the field of prosthetic and in situ vascular grafts for peripheral vascular disease. Topics discussed include endothelial hyperplasia as a cause of graft problems, therapies/approaches to improve graft patency, intravascular and endovascular techniques, and surveillance techniques.
