von Methoden und Resultaten Zu 48 ausgewahlten Fragen um die extrakorporale Zirkulation wurde eine systematische Literatursuche in zwei Datenbanken (PubMed und MedLine), die die letzten zwanzig Jahre umfasste, vorgenommen. Die hierbei von dem jeweiligen Autor verwendeten Suchbegriffe wurden von je zwei unabhangi- gen weiteren Mitarbeitern der Arbeitsgruppe, die insgesamt 38 Autoren umfasst, uberpruft, um ein moeglichst komplettes Resultat zu erzielen. Nach Durchsicht der gefundenen Abstracta wurden alle fur die jeweilige Fragestellung wesentlich erscheinenden Publikationen nach einem zuvor fest- gelegten Schema, das eine UEbersicht uber Zielsetzung, Fragestellung, Metho- dik, Resultate, Schlussfolgerungen gibt, zusammengefasst. Die adaquate An- wendung statistischer Methoden in den einzelnen Originalquellen wurde kri- tisch uberpruft und mit beratenden Statistikern diskutiert. Abschliessend wur- de fur jede Arbeit eine Einschatzung der wissenschaftlichen Evidenz gemass eines modifizierten Klassifizierungsschemas der AHA/ ACC vorgenommen: Klasse 1 Untersuchungen mit einer klaren wissenschaftlichen Evidenz, dass ein Ver- fahren sinnvoll und effektiv ist (grosse randomisierte prospektive Studien mit niedrigem Falsch-Positiven (Alpha) und Falsch-Negativen (Beta) Fehler, Metaanalysen nach Evidence-based -medicine-Kriterien). Klasse 2 Untersuchungen, die keine klare wissenschaftliche Evidenz uber die Effekti- vitat eines Verfahrens zeigen, z. B. aufgrund einer geringen untersuchten Fallzahl oder eines nicht perfekten Studiendesigns. Klasse 3 Untersuchungen, die keine wissenschaftliche Evidenz uber die Effektivitat eines Verfahrens geben koennen (Untersuchungen mit niedrigem WIssen- schaftlichen Impact, Fallreportagen-Einzelbeobachtung). Klasse 4 In-vitro-Studien, tierexperimentelle Studien, Reviews, die nicht Evidence- based-medicine-Kriterien entsprechen.

Die primare Varikose gilt in den westlichen Industriestaaten als eine Volkskrankheit; nur 20-50% der Bevoelkerung sind venengesund. In Deutschland sind die Ausgaben fur Venenleiden in der letzten Dekade auf fast das Doppelte gestiegen. Die Einfuhrung der bildgebenden Verfahren hat die diagnostischen und damit auch therapeutischen Moeglichkeiten grundlegend erweitert. Die Erfolgschancen besonders bei der chirurgischen Therapie lassen sich heute individuell beurteilen. Mit dem theoretischen Konzept der Rezirkulationskreise wurde dafur eine allgemeingultige Basis gefunden. Durch die Einordnung eines bestimmten Krankheitsbildes in den zugehoerigen Rezirkulationskreis sind die Minima und Maxima der operativen Strategie vorgegeben. Die reiche Bebilderung des Texts veranschaulicht das Konzept.

This book addresses multiple principles of carotid endarterectomy in terms of cervical anatomy, surgical techniques, practical cases and frequent questions stemming from clinical practice. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an effective way to the treatment of carotid artery stenosis, which significantly reduce the risk of stroke. This book covers the key concepts and common question in CEA. It is a practical book focusing on basic surgical technical techniques, but not covers controversial issues.

Following the success of its last symposium and book entitled 'The Evidence for Vascular Surgery', the Joint Vascular Research Group (JVRG) brings you this book. The book describes recent developments and best practice in vascular surgery, with an emphasis on multi-disciplinary care pathways. It is based upon a symposium held in Sheffield in June 2002 that aimed to improve the provision and equality of care for patients with peripheral arterial and venous disease. Many members of the JVRG have contributed to this book, including vascular surgeons, anaesthetists, radiologists, nurses and vascular technologists. The book consists of five sections covering the main areas of management of patients with peripheral vascular disease: Outpatients and medical management; Vascular imaging and endovascular intervention; Vascular surgery; Anaesthesia and theatres; Organisational aspects of care.

This book presents a practical overview of the widely used endovascular treatment of arterial emergencies, covering the majority of cases encountered in praxis. Including a wealth of high-quality images of arterial emergencies and treatment descriptions, it provides readers with essential information and shares insights into endovascular options. However, the book focuses on presenting common arterial emergencies from diagnosis to treatment only, without exhaustively describing all endovascular options. The clinical cases explore thoracic arterial emergencies, followed by abdominal emergencies and peripheral arterial emergencies. Rare clinical cases are also examined. The book offers interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and cardiologists, as well as residents in these disciplines, a valuable tool for use in their everyday clinical praxis.

This book is a fully updated and revised second edition of a highly successful text in which a new concept of knowledge mining, based on explication and transfer of interventional knowledge of experts, has been implemented. The dedicated training program that is set out will serve the needs of all interventional operators, whether cardiologists, vascular surgeons, vascular specialists, or radiologists, enabling them to achieve a consistent expert level across the entire broad spectrum of catheter-based interventions. Operator skills - and in particular decision-making and strategic skills - are the most critical factors for the outcome of catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. Currently, such skills are commonly developed by the empirical trial and error method only. The explicit teaching, training, and learning approach adopted in this book permits the rapid transfer of interventional knowledge and enables individual operators to negotiate steep learning curves and acquire complex skills in a highly efficient manner. It will thereby offer invaluable assistance in meeting successfully the challenges of modern cardiovascular care.

Die Entwicklung neuer Materialien und Techniken ftir die Gefass- chirurgie hat den Horizont der gesamten Chirurgie in ungeahnter Weise erweitert und befruchtet. Stand fruher im wesentlichen die sachgemasse Versorgung von Gefassen im Vordergrund, so bieten sich heute zahllose Moeglichkeiten einer Rekonstruktion der Blut- strombahn und daruber hinaus der Schaffung neuer Blutwege bis hin zum Anschluss transplantierter oder kunstlicher Organe. Kein Zweig unseres Faches ist hiervon ausgeschlossen. Wenn sich auch besondere Schwerpunkte der Gefasschirurgie entwickelt haben, so muss doch jeder Operateur zumindest die sein eigenes Interessen- gebiet betreffenden Gefasseingriffe beherrschen. Insofern mutet der hier und da geausserte Alleinvertretungsanspruch ftir die gesamte Gefasschirurgie kurios an. Viele Chirurgen sind von dieser sturmischen Entwicklung uber- holt worden, wahrend andere mangels Weiterbildungsmoeglichkei- ten oder eines geeigneten Krankengutes Muhe haben, diesen Fort- schritt mitzuvollziehen. Diese Hemmnisse zu uberwinden, hat sich der Autor ausdrucklich zum Ziel gesetzt. Die Gefasschirurgie -wie jede andere operative Tatigkeit -steht auf drei Saulen. Einmal muss der gegenwartige Stand des Wissens uber die Moeglichkeiten und Grenzen der Gefasschirurgie vorhan- den sein. Dann gilt es, die im Grunde einfachen, wenn auch durch besondere Sorgfaltspflicht gezeichneten Methoden der atraumati- schen Handhabung von Gefassen und deren Naht zu erlernen und schliesslich muss der Zugriff zum Gefasssystem "sitzen", das heisst, eindeutig, zweckmassig und schonend sein. Diesem letzteren Ziel dient dieses Werk.

This is a practical guide to pediatric vascular access. It covers how to use ultrasound appropriately, how to prevent and manage early and late complications, and how to correctly place the catheter tip using ECG or radiology. It includes all the most modern approaches and devices. In particular, the best approach for some specific populations is covered, including neonates and infants, complex patients, and children with cancer or renal failure requiring long term treatments. A guide on how to establish a vascular access team in a pediatric hospital is included, including the costs and benefits of having this hospital-based team. Vascular Access in Neonates and Children is aimed at pediatric anesthesists and surgeons, and radiologists, pediatricians and other specialities may also find it of interest.

The knowledge of the morphofunctional features from the coronary microcirculation is essential for understanding its role in cardiac physiological work and in the pathogenesis of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). The cardiovascular system comprises the heart and blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, both systemic and pulmonary. Arterioles are the primary site of vascular resistance and have only one to two layers of smooth muscular walls. Chapter One will provide an overview of the coronary microcirculation, its functions and regulatory mechanisms. The importance of CMD will be summarised in the context of diverse clinic scenarios, considering its pathogenesis, assessment and therapeutic management. The purpose of Chapter Two is to understand the role of arteriolar endothelial dysfunction in CVDs and its underlying mechanisms. Chapter Three will explore the physiopathology, epidemiology, and the diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive retinopathy. Chapter Four reports on angiogenesis, a critical process for reproduction in mammals, which consists of arterioles and blood vessels formation from the existing ones.

The availability and diffusion of high-performance technologies has strengthened the role of CT angiography and MR angiography as simple and reliable techniques for the characterization and treatment planning of the main diseases of the cardiocirculatory system, an understanding of which has become essential for all radiologists. The aim of this book is to provide technical indications which are both concise and thorough regarding the main methods and examination techniques for performing high-quality CT angiography and MR angiography studies in a broad range of clinical settings. This is supported by a large number of cases and is rich with advice on image interpretation and practical suggestions for the evaluation and reporting of the examinations. The text will therefore also aim to provide a comparison of the advantages and limitations of the two techniques in various diseases and vascular regions, thus offering indications to both the expert and trainee radiologist.

This clinical casebook is comprised of surgical cases involving the most important cardiovascular diseases in a concise, easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size, like other titles in this burgeoning, informal product line in the Springer clinical medicine program).Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as questions and answers (between 8 and 10) about relevant aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. The Q&A section will broaden discussion and increase the title's pedagogical value. The casebook features 40 surgical cases in the following thematic areas: Aortic Disease, Arrhythmias, Cardiac Tumors, Coronary Insufficiency, Congenital Heart Disease, Endovascular Therapies, Heart Failure, Heart Transplantation, Mechanical Circulatory Support, Pericardial Disease, Pulmonary Embolism and Valvular Heart Disease. This book will be prepared by the Brazilian Department for Academic Leagues of Cardiovascular Surgery, within the Brazilian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery (BSCVS). This department is the section within BSCVS that consists of the academic leagues of cardiovascular surgery from each university throughout the country. In Brazil, medical academic leagues are organizations that gathers students, interns and residents to discuss a certain topic and promote research and teaching-oriented extra-class activities, supervised by a group of professors. Thus trainees will have involvement in writing the chapters and the senior professor supervisors will edit and finalize the work. Basically, each chapter is written by an intern or resident and, ultimately, his/her supervisor. As the books volume editors, doctors Almeida and Jatene will have final responsibility for the cases and overall manuscript.
