Drug Eluting Resorbable Scaffold For Infrapopliteal Artery Disease

This textbook provides a comprehensive angiographic approach to assess and determine optimal treatment strategies for peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Management of carotid and vertebral artery disease has undergone tremendous strides since the introduction of thin section CT angiography and neurointerventions. These minimally invasive techniques continue to evolve allowing great advantages for patients. In this book we will focus on both endovascular (minimally invasive) and open arterial reconstructions as both types of procedures are still very much part of routine practice in managing extracranial carotid and vertebral artery disease.

Vascular diseases constitute the most common causes of disability and death in Western society. Atherosclerosis, throm- bosis, hypertension, and their clinical sequelae, including myocardial infarction, disabling claudication, limb loss, and stroke, occur far too frequently. Indeed, vascular pathology in one form or another is responsible for over one hundred billion dollars of costs annually in the United States for medical expenses and lost productivity.

This book focuses on various aspects and applications of drug repurposing, the understanding of which is important for treating diseases. A major focus of this book is understanding the role of drug repurposing to develop drugs for infectious diseases, including antivirals, antibacterial and anticancer drugs, as well as immunotherapeutics.
