Summary:

Vascular disease is increasing in prevalence, but remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. In the past few years, interest in peripheral vascular and cerebrovascular intervention has blossomed. Techniques adapted from interventional cardiology, radiology, and surgery have ushered in a new era of endovascular intervention. The Guide to Peripheral and Cerebrovascular Intervention brings together experts in the field of endovascular therapy to cover topics such as the basics of vascular anatomy, the pearls of appropriate case selection, and the fundamental equipment and pharmacotherapy for successful procedures. Specific chapters discuss advanced techniques in lower and upper extremity arterial intervention, renal and mesenteric intervention, carotid and vertebral stenting, intracerebral intervention for stenotic as well as aneurysmal disease, venous thrombolysis and intervention, aortic stent graft placement, dialysis access, and infrapopliteal intervention and limb salvage. The technical aspects of these various procedures are explained in a manner that will not only to be useful to the novice, but also informative to the experienced practitioner. Additionally, relevant literature and data are discussed to provide a thorough understanding of the related medical and surgical concerns associated with treating vascular disease. Numerous figures are included to illustrate key anatomical concepts. This book will be of interest to physicians, nurses, and technologists who currently treat patients with vascular disease or who plan to do so in the future.
