The definite treatment ofaortic disorders goes back to the
resection ofisthmic coarctation by Clarence Crafoord in 1944. It
took another third of a century until all portionsofthe
aortabecameaccessible to highly standardized surgery. This
progress, delayed as it was in relation to most other
cardiovascular in- terventions, depended on the availability of
safe protective methods for the heart and central nervous system,
of reliable vascular grafts and atraumatic instruments, novel
suture material and tissue adhesives. The development ofadvanced
surgical techniques went hand in hand with, and depended upon, the
emergence of proper diagnostic tools, starting with aortography
andultimately culminating inCT-scanning, transesophageal echo-
cardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. These tools now allow
for the rational planning and conductofany aortic intervention
which may be surgical or, more recently, catheter-guided.
Nienaber's and Fattori's new book aptly is addressing both the
diagnos- tic procedure as well as the treatment of aortic disease.
The authors are well known experts in the fields of advanced
diagnostics of aortic pathology, both spearheading a remarkably
innovative group of aortic interventionalists as well. On account
of their expertise, their chapters are able to answer any question
rising in conjunction with these subjects.
