Despite accurate preoperative assessment and adequate preparation,
unexpected, and sometimes disastrous, situations can occur during
vascular and endovascular procedures.
This latest book in the European Vascular Course series provides
vascular and endovascular surgeons with the skills and techniques
needed to solve these unforeseen intraoperative
complications.
It includes thirteen chapters on aortic neck problems during
open and endovascular repair, ruptured clamp sites, ureteral
lesions, unintentional covering of side branches, totally calcified
aorta and embolization. Accidental conditions during carotid and
lower limb revascularization are also covered in six chapters and
additional challenges are described in another seven chapters.
