Knowledge and understanding of vascular disease, particularly atherosclerosis, continue to expand across disciplines, as do diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for treatment of vascular disorders. This manual offers a consistent "how to" approach that places specific emphasis on management. Each chapter provides the reader with a highly practical approach so that he or she comes away with a reasonable amount of familiarity as to be able to manage the patient independently. Since the first edition, a certification in vascular medicine has become available. Some of the key features include: • Practical information such as drug doses, protocols for managing disorders, and algorithms; • Guidance on diagnostic assessment and treatment strategies for the majority of vascular disorders encountered in clinical practice; • Assimilation of information from areas outside cardiology, i.e., vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists, into a reader-friendly format geared toward the average practicing internist or cardiologist.

This manual is a practical how-to guide to vascular interventional procedures for all arteries and veins outside the coronary vascular system. The book provides the information needed to evaluate patients and perform procedures and describes the actual techniques used by experienced practitioners, including anticoagulants, antithrombotics, wires, guides, angioplasty, and stents. More than 400 illustrations complement the text. Chapters on each artery cover indications for interventional procedures, vascular anatomy, access, diagnostic angiography, and specific interventional techniques. Complications and risks of restenosis are also discussed. The book also includes a chapter on training and credentialing in peripheral vascular intervention.

In Diabetes and Peripheral Vascular Disease, a panel of distinguished leaders in the field of medicine, podiatry, and vascular and endovascular therapy assimilate the latest literature on these issues and others for an in-depth review of the management of peripheral vascular disease. Providing an overview of the management of diabetes and diabetic foot changes as well as providing a view of cutting-edge and emerging topics in optimization of arterial status, this important title addresses pathophysiology, anatomy, diagnosis and management of diabetic peripheral vascular disease, emphasizing a multi-disciplinary approach. The first chapter of the book provides an overview of this complex disease process and discusses the teamwork required for optimal management. The chapters continue with the basic pathophysiology of diabetic atherosclerosis and a contemporary review of the management of diabetes. The genesis of diabetic foot ulceration and prevention and management strategies is covered, as is the effects of neuropathy and microvascular changes in the diabetic foot. In addition, Diabetes and Peripheral Vascular Disease covers the microbiology of diabetic foot infections, the role of endovascular interventions and vascular surgery as well as the management of the complications of these procedures, the process of amputation for those patients who have progressed beyond a limb salvage situation, and the effects of diabetes on the cerebrovascular system as well as its implications in patients with aortoiliac disease. An invaluable addition to the literature on diabetes and peripheral vascular disease, the book will be of great interest internists, family practitioners, surgeons, podiatrists, wound care specialists, and vascular specialists. Students, residents, and fellows in surgical and medical specialties should also find this book of significant value and interest.

Handbook of Interventions for Structural Heart and Peripheral Vascular Disease is a comprehensive and highly illustrated resource for cardiologists, featuring the latest available treatment modalities and discussion on future developments. Divided into six sections, the book begins with a history of peripheral vascular interventions, with further sections on the evaluation of peripheral vascular disease, structural heart diseases, peripheral vascular interventions, aorta, and recent advances in the field. Topics covered across the book’s 35 chapters include clinical presentation, imaging required for planning surgical procedures, selection of equipment, various surgical techniques, intraoperative pitfalls and possible complications. Over 340 illustrations and tables, including 282 full colour images, enhance this essential resource for practising cardiologists wishing to remain up to date in the field of vascular intervention.

First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this pocket-sized manual is an adaptation of Topol's Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, Third Edition. The Third Edition of this best-selling manual follows the same structure as previous editions, using an outline format with key words and phrases highlighted in bold. The concise text provides easy access to the information needed to treat patients with cardiovascular disease and is appropriate for residents, fellows, practicing cardiologists, and nurse-practitioners. This latest revision presents updated clinical information and has eight new chapters, including obesity and metabolic syndrome, women and heart disease, and heart failure treatment.

The 2nd edition reviews important vascular disorders encountered in clinical practice, including aortic aneurysms and dissection, peripheral arterial occlusive disease and lymphedema. This book beautifully illustrates recent advances in vascular biology and technology, including enhanced resolution ultrasonography and less invasive therapeutic strategies are just two of many updates. Includes full-color images depicting surgical techniques, X-rays and first-quality photographs relating to vascular disease and its counterparts.

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
