Chronic critical limb ischemia remains one of the most frequent causes of illness and hospitalization in the western world. Interest in critical limb ischemia has increased markedly in recent years. There have been significant achievements in diagnostic pro cedures as well as in the medical, invasive, and surgical treatment of patients with critical limb ischemia. Despite a considerable research effort, the pathophysiological mechanisms of critical limb ischemia in humans remains to be established. Prominent is the increasing interest in the microcirculation, as well as in the hemorheological, hemostatic and inflammatory changes which may promote critical limb ischemia. Further research is n...
Since major prospective randomized multicenter studies (NASCET, ECST, ACAS) have assured the significant effect of the carotid reconstruction on stroke prevention, the main interest in carotid surgery focuses on modern radiologic procedures, new aspects in surgical technique, and perioperative region, paricularly of the carotid artery is, therefore, also best treated in an interdisciplinary way involving the neurologist, angioradiologist, and vascular surgeon. These current themes need to be discussed and constantly revised with new developing aspects.
Spinal Cord Stimulation II (SCS) contains the state of the art of this innovative method in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. The volume presents such topics as: Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain.- Management of Critical Limb Ischemia.- Spinal Cord Stimulation for Angina Pectoris.- Buerger's Disease.- Miscellaneous.
Neuromodulation will be the first comprehensive and in-depth reference textbook covering all aspects of the rapidly growing field of neuromodulation. This book provides a complete discussion of the fundamental principles of neuromodulation and therapies applied to the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, autonomic nerves and various organs. The textbook is highly structured and organized into overarching sections that cover chronic pain, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, functional electrical stimulation, cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and organ neuromodulation. The fundamental principles of electricity and infusion, neural tissue interface, biomedical engineer...
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
This practical guide is devoted to vascular diseases as dealt with by vascular surgeons. It is written with the collaboration of other specialists attending to vascular diseases. The book provides a concise overview of the current level and standards of care of vascular diseases in the European Union, and fills the need of vascular specialists who prepare for the U.E.M.S. exam. The text is well-structured and contains practical guidelines. The readership that will benefit most will be trainees and practitioners in vascular surgery, angiology and also practicing physicians. However, the book will also be valuable to physicians of other specialties.
The efficiency of carotid surgery on an asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and its superiority to conservative treatment was clearly demonstrated in the ACAS study. The stroke risk over a five year follow-up period could be reduced by 55 % and the combined stroke and mortality rate was shown to be a mere 2. 3 %. The efficacy of surgical treatment in also reducing stroke rates in the case of a symptomatic carotid stenosis was proven in the NASCET and ECTS prospective randomized studies. Of extreme importance in these procedures is, however, precise quality control and quality assessment. This is presently a topic of tremendous interest in reconstructive vascular surgery and is constantly be...
Opportunities in vascular disease present themselves around the management of carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysm, and peripheral arterial disease. This book provides an insight into endovascular practice as performed by both surgeons and radiologists.
