As life expectancy is extended, the incidence and occurrence of Aortic Aneurysms are becoming increasingly common. Until recently, the treatment of aortic disease was primarily surgical, carrying a high mortality rate among the high risk elderly population. In Aortic Aneurysms: Pathogenesis and Treatment, Gilbert R. Upchurch Jr., Enrique Criado, and a panel of distinguished physicians comprehensively assess the rapidly evolving field of aneurysm treatment, focusing on aneurysms of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta. The discussionof Aortic Aneurysms covers endovascular aortic repair as well as the recent significant improvements in stent graft design. This volume provides a concise and authoritative view of the current state of patient management, serving as a primer on clinical care and surgical procedures for aortic aneurysms Comprehensively discusses the latest in clinical management of aortic aneurysms and aortic disease Explores the development and use of stent grafts for aortic aneurysm repair, including recent improvements in design and possible risks and complications Provides substantive background on the history and development of endovascular aneurysm repair INDICE: From the contents Genetics of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.- Inflammatory Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology of Abdominal Arotic Aneurysms.- Contemporary Imaging of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.- Management of Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.- Surgical Treatment of Nonruptured Infrarenal Abdominal AorticAneurysms.- Patient Selection for Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair.- Current Results of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.- Complications and Secondary Procedures after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.- Fenestrated Endovascular Stent-Grafts: Current Applications.- Open Surgical Treatment of Pararenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.- Management of Pelvic Perfusion during Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.- Open Operative Therapy for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.- Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.- Complications after Ruptured Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair.- Treatment of Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms and Infected Aortic Grafts.
