As the nature of medical care becomes more preventive, rather than
crisis-driven, the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral vascular
disease become more relevant to everyday practice. Approximately
two million patients in Europe and the United States suffer from
critical limb ischemia. Nearly half of these sufferers will require
major amputation within one year after the onset of limb ischemia.
In addition, in the United States, prevalence of abdominal aortic
aneurysm is quite significant. In 2002, 200,000 abdominal aortic
aneurysms were diagnosed, adding to the estimated one and half
million patients who currently experience this disease. In fact,
10% of men over 80 years of age, have significant abdominal aortic
aneurysms. Furthermore, 20% of the patients who undergo coronary
intervention have renal artery stenosis, with as many as 50% of
those patients having critical stenosis. Embolic protection
traditionally used for carotid intervention is now being applied in
both femoral and renal applications. The field has also seen an
explosion in the ability to screen patients with peripheral
vascular disease, knowing that this is a potent predictor of
comorbid cardiovascular disease.
The second edition of the highly successful "Textbook of
Peripheral Vascular Interventions" discusses therapies that can
make a real difference in the lives of patients. Effective, less
invasive approaches to therapies for critical limb ischemia,
chronic total occlusions, as well as therapies for some subsets,
are discussed by an illustrious team of international
multispeciality contributors.
"Textbook of Peripheral Vascular Interventions, Second Edition,"
is not only for cardiologists, but also forradiologists,
endovascular surgeons, vascular surgeons, and cardiovascular
surgeons becoming involved in these therapies.
