Dit leerboek biedt inzicht in de theoretische en praktische aspecten van de vaatchirurgie.Het boek is geschreven voor operatieassistenten in opleiding. De achtergrondinformatieen de beschreven pre-, per-, en postoperatieve fasen van de operaties kunnen bijdragenaan de benodigde (praktische) kennis. Tevens kan dit boek dienen als naslagwerk voormedewerkers op de operatiekamer en voor verpleegkundigen die werkzaam zijn opchirurgische verpleegafdelingen waar vaatchirurgische patiënten worden verpleegd.Deze zesde, herziene druk van Vaatchirurgie is opgedeeld in drie delen. Het eerste deelgaat in op de algemene vaatchirurgische basiskennis, de vaatchirurgische principes, demogelijkheden voor diagnostiek en de vaatpatiënt. Deze informatie komt ook terugin de andere hoofdstukken van het boek. In het tweede deel worden achtereenvolgenscarotischirurgie, dialysechirurgie, thoracale, abdominale en perifere vaatchirurgie,amputaties en orgaandonatiechirurgie behandeld. Zowel de open chirurgische techniekenals de gesloten endovasculaire technieken worden beschreven. In het derde deelkomt veel voorkomend specifiek instrumentarium aan bod.Nieuw in de zesde druk is de toevoeging van de operatiebeschrijving van het thoracoabdominale aneurysma en het iliacale en poplitea aneurysma. Tevens is er meer aandacht voor andere facetten van een vaatpatiënt en is er meer uitleg over endovasculaire materialen.Online is het complete boek beschikbaar via de code die is opgenomen in het boek.De reeks ‘Operatieve Zorg en Technieken'is bestemd voor de opleiding tot operatieassistent. Naast het basisboek bestaat de reeks uit een aantal vervolgdelen, waarin de verschillende specialismen van de chirurgie worden behandeld.Deze reeks benadert de beroepsuitoefening van de operatieassistent zo dicht mogelijk,waarbij de gebruikte illustraties en afbeeldingen deze benadering ondersteunen.

50 Studies every Vascular Surgeon Should Know presents key studies that have shaped the practice of Vascular Surgery. Selected using a rigorous methodology, the studies cover topics including carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysm, peripheral artery disease, trauma, venous disease and vascular access. For each study, a concise summary is presented with an emphasis on the results and limitations of the study, and its implication for practice. An illustrative clinical case concludes each review to highlight the impact of the study on clinical practice. This book is a must read for vascular surgeons, especially those in training and preparing for board exams, as well as anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice.

“Thinking as a specialist, acting as an ER doctor”The emergency setting remains one of the most important parts of daily clinical practice for surgeons. Moreover, the triage surgeon may be faced with complicated patients, who are often suffering from a wide range of diseases and emerging conditions. To this end, the emergency surgeon must know how to interpret the symptoms/signs of each condition and initiate appropriate management before directing the patient to the most correct path and specialist. Although several books have been published concerning a specific surgical field (e.g. emergencies in vascular, thoracic or general surgery), this book provides a concise and quick point of view describing the clinical and instrumental surgical pictures in all vascular, thoracic, and general surgical emergencies. This approach can be useful in gaining a practical understanding of different clinical scenarios in order to adopt a correct management and treatment. Itoffers a simple guide to discriminating between urgent and non-urgent conditions, avoiding unnecessary diagnostic and interventional workup. This book would like to be a practical help also for general practitioners and emergency physicians to learn more about primary management of life threatening pathologies.

This book provides recent progress of neuroendovascular surgery, which is a minimally invasive treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Great advances have been made in the techniques, devices and large randomized clinical trials showing striking therapeutic benefit for cerebral aneurysms. The treatment of cerebral aneurysms has also seen substantial evolution, increasing the number of aneurysms that can be treated successfully with minimally invasive therapy. In the 17 chapters, authors introduce the techniques, devices, device structures and therapeutic concepts. Attendings, fellows, residents, medical students or anyone interested in sharpening their diagnostic and therapeutic skill set will benefit from reading this text. This book will include many clinical cases and skills and clinical concepts, which will benefit professional /practitioner.

This is a highly pragmatic and down-to-earth guide to the “real world” of vascular surgery, written to help trainees pass the FRCS (Vasc) Examination the first time around, hopefully with flying colours! Through clear and concise chapters, a review of relevant vascular surgery papers, a solid grounding in up-to-date and relevant UK and European guidelines, and mock examination questions, this book should give candidates a fighting chance at exam success.Using his early experience, and insight gained from senior consultant vascular surgeons and mentors, author James Forsyth dispenses both facts and pearls of wisdom as he takes the prospective vascular surgeon through the core topics pertinent to a day one vascular consultant.This guide specifically covers: “Building a strong foundation” with a focus on patient counselling, presentation skills, clear documentation, professionalism, and a foundational grasp of the key evidence base for vascular surgery “Core vascular surgery topics” from chronic limb-threatening ischaemia to aorto-iliac aneurysms to symptomatic carotid artery disease to chronic venous disease Pragmatic guide to the “bread & butter” vascular surgery operations Fifty mock SBA assessment questions and answers, and numerous mock FRCS short and long cases that are blended into reality-based discussions to draw out key learning points This book is essential to any budding vascular surgeon intending to sit the FRCS (Vasc) examinations, and those who are about to start off as real day one consultant vascular surgeons. Indeed, the FRCS (Vasc) Examination is a bridge to becoming a true consultant vascular surgeon, and this book therefore is a “must-read” for anyone looking to cross that bridge.

Circulatory conditions are involved both in the oncologic disease itself and in its treatment, with a direct impact on therapeutic planning for patients. At the same time, it goes without saying that cancer and its treatment affect the circulatory system, be it arterial, venous or lymphatic.This book explores the interface between vascular surgery and the various clinical and surgical oncological specialties, highlighting which types of neoplasm are most common and focusing on those that more frequently cause or are influenced by vascular diseases. The diagnostic procedures for these tumors and the most suitable types of treatment are also discussed.The content is divided into three sections: I – Surgical Oncology, II – Clinical Oncology and Oncohematology, and III – Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. The first section presents the most common types of tumor in each surgical oncology specialty, and the most frequent tumors associated with vascular complications. The diagnosis, staging, prognosis and oncological treatments are discussed, while associated vascular complications, such as vascular invasion, venous thrombosis, and arterial thrombosis, are described. The second section focuses on general aspects of Clinical Oncology and Oncohematology in addition to the most frequent vascular complications related to solid and hematological cancers and its treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow transplantation). The third section includes a more detailed approach to vascular events and diseases commonly found in cancer patients, in addition to technical discussions regarding vascular reconstructions associated with tumor resection, vascular access, among other topics.At the end of each chapter, the editors comment and highlight the most important challenges for vascular surgeons who dedicate their lives to treating cancer patients.Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for medical specialists and professionals in training in the fields of vascular surgery and angiology, clinical oncology, oncohematology and surgical oncology.
