Overview

This volume focusses on the current evidence surrounding the use of endovascular therapy. It updates and complements the earlier Medical Radiology volume on the Radiology of Peripheral Vascular Diseases. Some background information is provided on vascular biology and the facilities required for safe endovascular practice, along with guidance on consent issues. Further chapters deal with endovascular treatment in particular arterial territories, and include the evidence in favour of or against the use of specific treatments. The most up-to-date evidence surrounding endovascular aneurysm repair is discussed. There are also chapters on venous interventions, including the endovascular management of varicose veins. This book will be of value both to interventional radiologists and to vascular surgeons with an interest in endovascular techniques.

Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen: Das vorliegende Buch aus der 'Medical Radiology' Reihe versteht sich als Update auf dem Gebiet der endovaskularen Intervention. Nach einer knappen Einfuhrung in die Pathobiologie von Gefasserkrankungen und die technischen Voraussetzungen fur Gefassinterventionen wird ebenso pragnant das Thema Patientenaufklarung behandelt ! Im Hauptteil des Buches beschreiben namhafte Kapitelautoren die spezifischen endovaskularen Therapiemoglichkeiten in unterschiedlichen Gefassterritorien. ! Das Bildmaterial ist ausreichend und von guter Qualitat. ! Die vielen Unterteilungen dienen ! einer guten Aubersicht und erleichtern wesentlich das gezielte Nachlesen ! (Dr. Thomas Kau, in: Karntner A rzteZeitung, 2008, Issue 1-2, S. 34)
