Excel at clinical IR with insightful perspectives from both current residents and senior interventionalists! Interventional radiology training has evolved rapidly during the last decade, with recent recognition as a primary medical specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties. The number of IR residency positions continues to increase each year with a greater number of trainees rotating through the IR elective. The bar is set high and expectations of trainees have increased. Written clearly, concisely, and at a trainee's level, Pocketbook of Clinical IR: A Concise Guide to Interventional Radiology by Shantanu Warhadpande, Alex Lionberg, and Kyle Cooper is the first IR pocketbook written specifically for medical students and junior residents to help them excel on their IR rotation. This book will help trainees to intelligently field IR consults, effectively round on patients, and develop an understanding of IR disease processes. Concise yet thorough, it provides a solid clinical foundation to underlying pathologies and procedures, and embodies the authors' philosophy that the IR education paradigm should be transformed into one in which the clinical care of patients is of equal importance to technical procedural training. Key Features Clinical background on hepatobiliary, oncologic, arterial, venous, genitourinary, and neurologic diseases frequently encountered in IR Insightful clinical algorithms provide guidance on how the IR procedure fits into the big picture Concise procedure boxes provide an overview of how the procedure is performed so the trainee can be an active participant in any IR procedure This practical white-coat companion is essential for all trainees involved with interventional radiology. This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

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.

Urologists have long used urinary stents in patients who have - or who are at risk of developing - an obstruction or blockage of the kidney. These rodlike devices are inserted into the ureter to keep the canal open or to help with healing after trauma, surgery or radiotherapy. More recently the use of stents for the prostate and urethra has also become more widespread, despite poor results in first generation models. Constant development has led to the introduction of second generation stents with a variety of designs, materials and coatings. These have gone a long way to counter the traditional side effects such as irritation, hematuria, infection and encrustation. Handbook of Urinary Stents has been written to provide urologists with a practical guide to the various new models for stenting. The book describes the various stents available; the criteria for their selection; their clinical application and potential complications of use. At the same time, the book provides thorough descriptions of relevant physiology and pathophysiology for those requiring deeper understanding of the subject. Key Points Provides a comprehensive, timely review for urologists needing an accessible guide to the range of stents available Chapters highlight the use of stents in special populations such as children and patients with transplanted ureter Emphasis on clinical complications following the use of stents and how to manage them effectively

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.
