Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.

A general handbook covering post-surgical complications across all specialties. Particularly relevant for junior doctors and those preparing for their membership of the Royal College of Surgery (MRCS) exams.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a screening tool called the Listing of Impairments to identify claimants who are so severely impaired that they cannot work at all and thus immediately qualify for benefits. In this report, the IOM makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity to determine disability benefits more quickly and efficiently using the Listings.

This new title provides a systematic review of complex cases in peripheral vascular interventions (PVI), a minimal invasive endovascular approach to treating peripheral arteries. This increasingly evolving area in interventional therapies offers reduced risk for complications compared to conventional surgery and takes advantage of advanced techniqu

Practical Peripheral Vascular Intervention, Second Edition is a how-to guide to state-of-the-art vascular interventional procedures for all arteries and veins outside the coronary vascular system. Chapters on each artery cover indications for interventional procedures, vascular anatomy, access, diagnostic angiography, and specific interventional techniques used by experienced practitioners. This thoroughly updated edition includes an expanded section on intracranial stenting, additional material on venous filters, venous thrombosis, and central venous occlusion, and more chapters reviewing all cardiac noninvasive modalities. More than 300 large-size illustrations show trainees and clinicians the best approach to treatment.

Textbook of Peripheral Vascular Intervention, Second Edition, discusses therapies that can make a real difference in the lives of patients. As there are increasing demands for effective, less invasive approaches to therapies for critical limb ischemia, chronic total occlusions, as well as therapies for some subsets.

This compact, richly illustrated text presents a uniquely visual representation of the procedures interventionalists need to master to perform peripheral vascular interventions successfully. Written and illustrated by a skilled practitioner with many years of hands-on clinical experience, it shares his knowledge, advice, and techniques, giving readers the sense of sitting side-by-side with him at the angiography table. Special Features: More than 570 instructive, fully labeled schematic drawings showing the sequence of steps in common peripheral vascular interventions (excluding the vessels of the heart) Covers the physiologic, anatomic, and technical fundamentals of procedures undertaken in the abdomen and lower and upper extremities Includes detailed information on materials (e.g., stents, guidewires, cannulas, sheaths, and balloon and angiography catheters) and methods (e.g., retrograde and antegrade catheterization of the femoral artery, crossover catheterization, venous access, angiography, stent placement, local thrombolysis, and much more) Focuses on procedures chosen for their clinical relevance and frequency of occurrence in everyday practice Shares the authors wealth of clinical experience in time-saving tips, tricks, warning signs, risks, complications, and hazards to avoid Especially for the beginning interventional radiologist, but also for the more experienced practitioner who wants to optimize procedures, this book provides the didactic visual examples and descriptions to perform interventions confidently and successfully. It is an ideal reference and refresher for residents, fellows, and practitioners in radiology and interventional radiology, vascular surgery, and angiology.

Fully revised and updated edition of this popular book, addressing all issues concerning the diabetic foot, one of the most prevalent problems in diabetes, with a strong emphasis on practical aspects of delivering care.

As devices, technologies, and imaging techniques continue to evolve, today’s endovascular surgical techniques have increased in both number and complexity. Complications in Endovascular Surgery provides a unique focus on potential complications encountered in the operating room, preparing you to anticipate the unexpected, identify the risk factors in individual procedures, and take steps to successfully manage complications when they occur. Helps you manage the surgical complications associated with image-guided interventional techniques used when treating patients with vascular disease, with clear descriptions of how to prevent problems and how to prevent catastrophic problems once a simple problem occurs. Provides a practical guide to device-specific tips and tricks from experts in the field, making this unique resource ideal for surgeons at all levels of training and practice. Features highly illustrated, consistent instructions that explain how to avoid and manage both common and uncommon complications. Covers EVAR, TEVAR, FEVAR, and other complex aortic work; as well as CAS, TCAR, complex LE endovascular procedures, and venous intervention-lysis/stenting. Includes tip boxes with key facts and technical recommendations, warning boxes that highlight safety precautions, and a troubleshooting guide for each procedure that helps you get back on track if things don’t go exactly as planned.
