Prevention of complications in vascular and endovascular surgery is an important consideration for all practicing surgeons. The keys to achieving clinical success are based on careful selection of both patient and procedure, along with meticulous operative and endovascular techniques. Management of complications requires careful planning and urgent intervention. This concise, practical text provides the reader with A stepwise approach to diagnosis Guidance on avoiding technical pitfalls Advice on re-interventions Case examples to aid clinical practice The early diagnosis of complications, followed by prompt action and intervention, is key to improving clinical outcomes. This well-illustrated, concise, and practical book ensures that vascular and endovascular surgeons will be able to optimize clinical results and patient care.

"The renal failure and hemodialysis dependent population is increasing worldwide. Hemodialysis access is the life-line of these patients. Hemodialysis access related surgical and interventional procedures form a major demand to the healthcare services in many developed and developing countries. As such, the proper clinical decision, planning and performance of these procedures will greatly benefit the hemodialysis patients and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs. This book is a practical guide for clinicians and nurses creating, treating or managing hemodialysis accesses for renal failure patients. Basic principles to manage common or difficult situations of hemodialysis access are discussed and illustrative clinical cases are shown as examples. This book is an essential reading material for healthcare professionals in their early phase of developing the hemodialysis access program, while providing useful tips and tricks to established clinicians that will broaden their armamentarium."--

“Because of its direct clinical applications, this is a good purchase for any neurological and neurosurgical library.” – Doody’s Reviews “I would certainly recommend [this book] to any technologist who monitors in the operating room.” – American Journal of Electroneurodiagnostic Technology This is a fundamental resource for physicians, technologists, and other health professionals who need to acquire state-of-the-art skills in neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring (NIOM). It covers basic aspects of monitoring, describes the clinical and technical requirements for monitoring specific types of surgeries, and addresses the administrative aspects of running an NIOM service. The second edition has been updated to incorporate the vast amount of new information and techniques that have evolved since the publication of the first edition. This includes expanded coverage of each of the modalities used in monitoring (SEP, MEP, BAEP, EEG, and EMG) which are now discussed in individual chapters, training curriculum for neurophysiologists and technologists, policies and procedures for NIOM labs, and accreditation and certification. New applications and clinical innovations are interwoven throughout, and there is a completely new chapter on the use of NIOM in movement disorders surgery. Of value to practitioners at any level of experience, the book is now divided into three sections. The first section, Basic Principles, introduces the reader to the operating room environment, anesthetic considerations, and the various monitoring modalities. The second section, Clinical Methods, reviews the use of NIOM in specific types of surgeries. Many of these chapters are co-written by a neurophysiologist and technologist and present an overview of the particular surgery, relevant anatomy, monitoring modalities, data interpretation, warning criteria and technical considerations. A unique third section, Administrative Issues, has been added to this edition to address technical aspects of NIOM machines, remote monitoring, billing, ethical and legal issues, and training requirements for physicians and technologists. The final two chapters are devoted to setting up and maintaining an NIOM service and include sample policies and procedures. Key Features: Provides a wealth of current information on NIOM for day-to-day case management Covers all modalities and practical applications of NIOM for specific surgeries Contains detailed information on training, setup, billing, equipment, lab protocols, and running a service Appeals to NIOM providers at every level Combines the perspectives of physicians and technologists who together author surgical chapters

As with every title in the Companion to Surgical Practice Series, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2nd Edition is designed to provide surgeons in higher surgical training with an excellent learning and revision resource, and busy practising surgeons with a regular update in a particular sub-specialty interest. To meet the increasing interest in evidence-based medicine, authors have cited whenever available the meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials, and identified key references within the text which support evidence-based practice.

Opportunities in vascular disease present themselves around the management of carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysm, and peripheral arterial disease. This book provides an insight into endovascular practice as performed by both surgeons and radiologists.

In this reference, the editors review the main indications and questions when confronted with a choice in vascular and endovascular surgery. Questions such as should carotid plaque be removed surgically or stented?, what is the case for the bifurated modular stent-graft for abdominal aneurysm and is balloon angioplasty below the knee joint wise? are reviewed with the authors concentrating on the variety of indications for the given conditions. Summaries clarify, what is known, what is accepted and what needs to be learned in the future regarding the procedures available.

Extensively revised and updated to reflect the progress of, and new developments in the field, this volume provides a state-of-the-art review of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Covers everything from how to use the technique, when to use it, and its limitations. The 2nd edition includes expanded coverage of imaging, balloon angioplasty, lasers, adjuctive procedures and provides a critical analysis to help readers put the new technology into better perspective.

This one-of-a-kind guide gets endovascular and trauma specialists up to date on the rapidly evolving field of vascular injury management New technologies have created fresh opportunities to explore improved care options for patients with vascular injuries, and the discipline of vascular surgery is increasingly moving toward wider use of endovascular treatments. Edited by highly experienced, dual-trained trauma and vascular/endovascular surgeons, Vascular Injury: Endovascular and Open Management examines the process of medical, open, or endovascular management of contemporary vascular injury. Detailed description of endovascular technical elements help endovascular specialists adapt their traditional vascular surgery approaches to trauma; at the same time, the book familiarizes trauma specialists with an expanded technical skillset, as well as the strengths/limitations of technologies not provided elsewhere in traditional trauma training.
