Historically, vascular disease has been treated by a combination of open surgical procedures and medical management. Since the first description of a percutaneous procedure to dilate diseased lower limb arteries, the treatment of vascular disease has changed. Endovascular Intervention for Vascular Disease: Principles and Practice offers a diverse a

Endovascular Interventions uses a case-based approach to present the current methodology used for the treatment of peripheral arterial and venous diseases. Utilizing a series of case studies, the book presents readers with a range of complexities and complications encountered in daily practice, along with tips and tricks for overcoming them. Chapters are organized to give a comprehensive look at conditions involved in endovascular interventions, including intracranial strokes, lower extremity artery disease, access-related pseudoaneurysm, complications of intra-aortic balloon pumps, aortic dissections, and septic arteritis. Endovascular Interventions: A Case-Based Approach is a practical guide and valuable resource for the practicing interventional cardiologist, interventional radiologist, vascular surgeon and cardiothoracic surgeon.

Catheter- and endoluminal-based technologies have revolutionized vascular medicine with minimally invasive devices and techniques, enabling diverse medical disciplines to become involved in management of vascular disease. Dr. Criado’s most recent monograph for the vascular field covers the most common peripheral percutaneous endovascular interventions and treatments, as well as the latest developments in the field of vascular medicine. Endoluminal technologies, new interventional tools, such as intravascular ultrasound and vascular stents, and other minimally invasive devices are described with clarity. The book demonstrates in detail the necessary skills and fundamental catheter techniques that form the basis of new age vascular intervention. These basic principles as well as new developments are having an unprecedented effect on today’s vascular practice, ushering in the era of catheter-based vascular therapy, new nomenclature, and interdisciplinary roles. Appealing to a multidisciplinary audience of vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists and radiologists, this illustrated text is intended to be a practical guide, as well as a technical primer, for both veterans and beginning interventionists, with quick answers to common questions.

The Handbook of Endovascular Peripheral Interventions has been written to serve as a comprehensive guide for both the beginner and advanced interventionalist. Covering all aspects of percutaneous peripheral vascular interventions, each chapter of this highly illustrated book provides a brief background, etiology, clinical presentation, imaging, and percutaneous treatment of different vascular conditions. Importantly, Tips of the Trade and How I Do It sections within each chapter make the handbook practical for daily use. These invaluable pearls are provided by contributing chapter authors who are experts in the field. Edited by Dr. Christopher D. Owens (Division of Vascular Surgery) and Dr. Yerem Yeghiazarians (Division of Interventional Cardiology), from the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, the Handbook of Endovascular Peripheral Interventions is a collaborative effort between cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and radiologists. Since each subspecialty brings unique expertise and experience to the field, this handbook will be a valuable resource for all physicians currently working in peripheral vascular interventions.

A comprehensive, quick-reference guide to the diagnosis and management of peripheral artery disease for non-specialists With an aging population subject to an increasing number of health risks, peripheral artery disease (PAD) is on the rise throughout the world. Because of PAD's direct links to heart attack and stroke, it is critical that internists, surgeons, cardiologists, radiologists, gerontologists, GPs, and family practitioners know how to recognize it and make the best treatment recommendations for their patients. This book provides all the expert, practical information and guidance they need to do just that. Edited by two thought leaders in PAD diagnosis and treatment, and comprising chapters written by subject matter experts, Peripheral Artery Disease, Second Edition provides clinicians with guidance on how to diagnose and treat one of the most under-diagnosed conditions affecting millions of patients. This updated and revised edition of the popular guide distills the complexities of PAD into clear, actionable advice for busy medical practitioners, providing them with the information they need—when they need it. Provides clinicians with essential information for recognizing and treating this under-diagnosed condition that affects millions of patients Distills the complexities of PAD, from diagnosis to traditional and emerging treatment options, into clear, actionable advice for clinicians Covers PAD epidemiology, office examination, imaging, laboratory evaluation, medical therapy, surgical interventions, endovascular treatments, and much more Reflects the latest PAD Guidelines and Performance Measures established by leading specialty societies Features contributions from internists and surgeons, all recognized experts in PAD Peripheral Artery Disease, Second Edition is an important working reference for internists, cardiologists, radiologists, and surgeons, as well as fellows and residents in those fields.

ENDOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS A practical and systematic approach to current endovascular surgical techniques An increasingly popular alternative to open vascular surgery, endovascular intervention offers many advantages, including reduced patient discomfort, smaller incisions, shorter recovery time, and decreased risk of adverse complications. Practitioners and trainees alike require expert guidance on current technologies and up-to-date techniques. Endovascular Interventions provides clinicians with an easy-to-follow guide for minimally invasive treatment of vascular disease. This invaluable resource delivers concise and accurate instructions on a wide range of endovascular interventions, including aorta, renal and mesenteric interventions, lower extremity interventions, venous interventions, and supra-aortic interventions in high-risk patients. Sequential phases of skill development broaden the reader’s abilities as they progress through each chapter, supplying step-by-step instructions on when each procedure should be used and how it can be safely and effectively performed. This book offers a complete reference to essential techniques and procedures, suitable for both novice and experienced vascular surgeons, cardiologists, and radiologists. Endovascular Interventions also: Reinforces comprehension of each procedure with templated chapters, equipment lists and boxed key learning points Provides full-color clinical images and detailed illustrations to demonstrate surgical procedures Presents authoritative coverage of modern endovascular technologies and techniques Written by a team of respected experts and practicing surgeons from internationally recognized hospitals and universities Suitable for varying skill levels, Endovascular Interventions is a precise, accessible instruction manual for safe and effective endovascular intervention, helping practicing clinicians sharpen their existing abilities and keep pace with the latest surgical technologies while instructing trainees on this innovative approach to vascular surgery.
