Vascular Surgerty

This book provides a simple, step-by-step guide to the identification and sequential management of vascular lesions in the body. Since most vascular lesions occur in the head and neck area, the surgical interventions present challenges with regard to facial growth, airway management and reconstruction options. This book explores the treatment of head and neck vascular malformations and tumors from the perspectives of various specialties, such as otolaryngology, and pediatric, maxillofacial and plastic surgery.

This book aims to provide a brief overview of conventional open vascular surgery, endovascular surgery and pre- and post-operative management of vascular patients. The collections of contributions from outstanding vascular surgeons and scientists from around the world present detailed and precious information about the important topics of the current vascular surgery practice and research.

This book introduces the great advances made in the techniques, devices and treatment concepts which benefit for spinal vascular malformations. It also covers several spinal vascular malformations that can be treated successfully with minimally invasive therapy.

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 revised and enlarged edition of Cerebral Angiography, which includes new angiographic studies and illustrative drawings, offers detailed guidance on diagnostic use of the procedure. The first part of the book describes the normal anatomy of the cerebral arteries and veins, with attention to morphological aspect, embryological development, function, and vascular territories. The intraorbital and extracranial vascularization is also considered. The reader will gain a sound knowledge of normal vascular anatomy and its variations that will serve as a basis for the correct interpretation of pathological processes and their clinical significance, as covered in the second part of the book.
