A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"...this is a useful reference on critical ischemia thatprovides a European wide perspective of the problem."

––Journal of Vascular Surgery

"...a very good overview of the subject, ranging from thepathophysiological basis of the disease to treatment, includingsurgical, radiological and medical therapy. All clinicianspractising in this field will find it extremely useful; trainees inall disciplines would benefit from reading this before their finalexaminations."

––British Journal of Surgery

"...an interesting and stimilating review of the managementof critical limb ischemia which would be a useful addition to thelibrary of vascular specialists."

––Doody s Review Service

"This book is easy to read and well categorized, and it issuccinctly written in a manuscript format. The text is complimentedby quality radiographs, intraoperative photographs, simplistic yetinformative drawings, life–table analysis, detailed tables tocompare cumulative results of published data on the subjects, andpertinent references. It is unequivocally an informative, concisetext addressing the issue of critical limb ischemia with authorityand current information. This book is a welcome addition to thelibraries of readers of varying sophistication and expertise intheir medical and surgical specialties."

––Annals of Vascular Surgery

"This text is an excellent reference for residents andvascular surgeons. The book is not an anatomic exposure oroperative techniques manual, as that was not the goal. The textfocuses on results such as graft patency and limb salvage rates. Nocase studies or results are based on limited experiences. I likethis book because I can read a brief chapter on a specific topicthat contains reviews of previous reports with significantdata."

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book contains 28 chapters representing the opinion of keyvascular specialists. It covers a wide spectrum of definition andcriteria of critical limb ischemia (CLI), its pathophysiology,epidemiology, assessment, and therapy. Objective criteria, whichare associated with the definition of CLI, have been the source ofmany debates and, therefore, their disadvantages and limitationsare presented and alternatives and recommendations are suggested.

Present–day medical treatment of CLI includes spinal cordstimulation, antiplatelet drugs, defibrinating agents, vasoactivesubstances, and prostanoids. Therapies of choice, such as distalbypass surgery for extensive arterial disease, and alternativeprocedures are also surveyed.

Clinical and surgical specialists concerned with endovascularand surgical intervention will benefit from this engaging treatisethat stretches from general to specific medical conditions of CLI,quality of life, long–term morbidity and mortality, and the role ofprimary amputation.
