This new title provides a systematic review of complex cases in peripheral vascular interventions (PVI), a minimal invasive endovascular approach to treating peripheral arteries. This increasingly evolving area in interventional therapies offers reduced risk for complications compared to conventional surgery and takes advantage of advanced techniques to treat more complex lesions in severely diseased patients. This book edited by two highly respected professors from the University of Vienna, Medical School describes typical and atypical complex cases for all peripheral vessel areas, and outlines methods to successfully and safely handle these interventions. The text is divided into two sections. The first reviews general aspects on managing complex patients in PVI, and the second discusses complex cases in specific vessel areas, examining the interventions from puncture to closure, head to toe. Each of the chapters in this section is further divided into three parts and provides: An introduction to each vessel, specific information on the complexities of this lesion and the hazards of treatment, and a checklist for readers of recommended equipment when treating this specific vessel area Selected teaching cases, whereby specific vessel areas are described step-by-step A summary of the key issues for the successful and safe treatment of complex lesions in this vessel area. . Complex Cases in Peripheral Vascular Interventions offers readers the opportunity to tap into the knowledge of those working on complex cases in this cutting edge field and receive both theoretical information and practical tips on how to approach specific vascular lesions. This book is a highly recommended read for beginners in endovascular interventions who want to get an impression on the advanced scope of treatment options as well as for experienced interventionists who want t

Complex Cases in Peripheral Vascular Interventions offers readers the opportunity to tap into the knowledge of those working on complex cases in this cutting edge field and receive both theoretical information and practical tips on how to approach specific vascular lesions. This book is a highly recommended read for beginners in endovascular interventions who want to get an impression on the advanced scope of treatment options as well as for experienced interventionists who want to extend their knowledge on difficult cases.

Increasing evidence suggests that particularly in high-risk patients, endovascular solutions offer substantial advantages compared to vascular surgical procedures. Nevertheless, growing numbers of procedures are associated with an increased incidence of complications. Knowledge of specific complications in different vessel areas will support the interventionist in preventing such adverse events and if necessary, provide considerable reassurance if such complications need to be resolved. In Complications in Peripheral Vascular Interventions, typical and atypical complications are described for all peripheral vessel areas, and methods for how to handle these events are outlined. The book is divided in two parts. Part 1 reviews general aspects on complications in peripheral interventions, and Part II covers the specific vessel areas. Each chapter on the specific vessel area includes Introduction to the frequency and kind of complications in this vessel area Factors identifying high-risk patients for these complications Complications of specific interventional steps and tools Endovascular techniques to resolve these complications Methods to avoid complications Summary Checklist for emergency equipment Offering practical tips for the interventionist in the cath lab, high-volume interventionists share their experiences by reviewing complicated cases and outlining different strategies used in real-life scenarios.
