Vascular Surgery by Christos D. Liapis, Klaus Balzer, Fabrizio Benedetti-Valentini, and Jose Fernandes E. Fernandes Hardcover - 674 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-VAS2 $173.60 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9783540309550

This practical guide is devoted to vascular diseases as dealt with by vascular surgeons primarily with the collaboration of other specialists attending to vascular diseases. Because vascular disease requires a holistic approach that can ideally be delivered by various disciplines working together in the form of vascular centres, the book depicts precisely this approach towards confronting and treating vascular diseases. The readership that will benefit the most would be trainees and practitioners in vascular surgery, angiology and also practicing physicians. The coverage in a comprehensive, yet easy to follow, format of most aspects of vascular diseases will also render this book valuable to physicians of other specialities.

Contents:
Vascular Surgery and the Vascular Patient - Cerebrovascular arteries - Upper extremity arteries - Thoracic aorta - Abdominal aorta and iliac arteries - Visceral arteries - Lower extremity arteries - Diabetic foot - Amputations - Venous diseases - Lymphatics - Arteriovenous malformations -

Vascular Mechanics and Pathology by Mano J. Thubrikar Hardcover - 464 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-VAS3 $142.70 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9780387338163

Opening new doors for interdisciplinary research, Vascular Mechanics and Pathology establishes a correlation between vascular mechanics and pathology that could lead to the reduction of vascular diseases, as well as the development of new treatments.

Vascular Mechanics and Pathology focuses on the artery and arterial diseases. As the fundamental functions of the artery are to serve as a conduit of blood flow and as a container of blood pressure, Vascular Mechanics and Pathology describes both the general principles and the occurrence of stress concentration at the pressure vessel junctions and examines the role of beta-blockers in the reduction of atherosclerosis and related complications. This cutting-edge work presents the use of veins as arterial grafts and discusses the role of vein valves in graft stenosis.

Vascular Mechanics and Pathology illustrates aneurysm formation, growth, and rupture, using pressure vessel principles. This new work details the investigation of, amongst other topics, aortic dissection, showing for the first time that the aortic root mechanics plays a vital role in the development of this pathology.

• Brings together the interdisciplinary fields of vascular mechanics and pathology with the goal of developing new treatments
• Bridges the gap in our knowledge and enhances engineering applications in medicine
• Shows for the first time that the aortic root mechanics plays a vital role in the development of pathology

The first edition published in 1999, was described as a "longed for addition to the literature", and as a text that "cannot be compared with any other book on vascular surgery" (Lancet 2000; 355: 1918). At the time it was different; a book to help busy clinicians sift through surgical research and use it to make sensible decisions for their clinical practice. The challenge for this second edition is to produce something better still.

The new edition is larger and more comprehensive, thanks to valuable suggestions from colleagues and reviewers. The text is as accessible as possible, with short chapters, recommendations for management, comprehensive referencing and full colour illustration. It belongs on the shelf, or in the briefcase of everyone who has to treat patients with vascular disease.

An educational publication suitable for consultants with an interest in venous disease, trainees in vascular surgery, vascular nurses and technologists.

Contents include: venous disease - an overview of the history and importance of venous disease on modern practice; epidemiology of venous disease; signs and symptoms of venous disease; investigation of venous disease; quality of life and outcome assessment; techniques of primary surgery for varicose veins; recurrent varicose vein surgery; new methods of vein ablation; perforator surgery - the evidence; management of telangiectasia; management of deep vein thrombosis; indications for venous reconstruction; the role of nurse-led clinics; organisation of leg ulcer services; deep vein thrombosis and travel.

Endovascular intervention has rapidly become part of everyday medical practice. Although a relatively young specialty, its impact on the management of vascular disease has been dramatic and profound.

As techniques have become established, technology has moved forward at a breathtaking pace making regular update vital to stay abreast of this expanding specialty. The topics and authors in this book have been carefully selected to reflect these recent advances and to inform and educate the reader. All authors are renowned and respected within their fields of endovascular intervention. They have provided an up-to-date text covering aspects of vascular disease including: the supra-aortic, thoracic, aortic and mesenteric vessels, venous thrombosis and the management of failing dialysis fistulae. In addition, the impact of virtual environments to complement conventional training is considered.

This book will appeal to all specialists who practice endovascular intervention in the fields of interventional radiology, vascular surgery and cardiology. The readership should extend to all members of the endovascular team, be they doctor, nurse, technologist or technician. It will hopefully update the reader in many of these exciting areas. We hope you enjoy it.

The 5th Edition of the classic textbook on vascular ultrasound. Now in a full-color format, with a new co-editor, a new team of contributors, and cutting-edge diagnostic procedures. Five sections span show the spectrum of arterial and venous ultrasound, from basic concepts and instrumentation, through cerebral vessels, extremity arteries, and extremity veins, to abdominal vessels, and the pelvis. This edition also features brand-new coverage of cerebrovascular arteries, peripheral arteries, intravascular techniques, and more.

Features:

• Organizes each section by clinical rationale, anatomy, examination technique, findings, and interpretation for easy reference.
• Details all aspects of ultrasound vascular diagnosis, including peripheral veins and arteries, carotid and vertebral arteries, abdominal vessels, and transcranial Doppler.
• Offers chapters on physiological diagnostic techniques, such as plethysmography, segmental pressure examination, ankle brachial index, and more.
• Includes numerous tables that conveniently display examination protocols, normal values, diagnostic parameters, and ultrasound findings for selected conditions.
• Illustrates important techniques with hundreds of lavish line drawings and clinical ultrasound examples.
