IVUS Made Easy

Cardiac CT Made Easy

Edited by

Paul Schoenhagen, Steven E. Nissen, and E. Murat Tuzcu Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio, USA

Edited by

Anthony De Franco Cardiology Associates, PSC, Edgewood, Kentucky, USA

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a tomographic imaging modality performed during coronary angiography that allows the simultaneous assessment of lumen, vessel wall, and atherosclerotic plaque. IVUS has been established as the method of choice for the detection and serial observation of transplant vasculopathy, and more recently, for the serial observation of atherosclerotic plaque burden in atherosclerosis progression/regression trials. When performed by an operator familiar with interventional, percutaneous techniques, the rate of complications during IVUS imaging is exceedingly low.

IVUS Made Easy provides an introduction to coronary imaging with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It consists of a brief, practical text and corresponding illustrated IVUS images. The format is uniform throughout, with a non-illustrated IVUS image displayed together with an illustrated copy. Based on the previously published An Atlas and Manual of Coronary Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging, this guide provides expanded descriptions of the practical aspects of IVUS and includes additional information in short case presentations.

The book begins with the principle of IVUS imaging. It discusses normal arterial anatomy by IVUS, image artifacts and IVUS measurements. It then discusses plaque (atheroma) morphology and clinical applications.

Studies routinely report a prevalence of venous disease of 20 percent or higher among western industrialized countries, and it is predicted that numbers will rise even higher in industrialized and obese populations. The management of venous disease has moved from the hospital and institutional setting to one that operates predominantly in an outpatient arena. These settings are often far more representative of a cosmetic surgery or dermatology practice, targeted to optimize the patient experience. Those who have adopted endovenous procedures in the typical hospital environment often meet obstacles that limit their ability to expand phlebology care. Practical Phlebology: Starting and Managing a Phlebology Practice provides a practical yet effective framework for transitioning an existing hospital-based practice to the outpatient arena.

A Colour Atlas of Venous Disease Henner Altenkamper and Matthias Eldenburg Evangelisches Krankenhous, Plettenberg, Germany

This volume defines practical guidelines for a multidisciplinary approach to critical limb ischemia and follows a step-by-step description of the latest techniques. It examines noninvasive and surgical treatment alternatives, including balloon angioplasty, stenting, cryoplasty, pharmacotherapy, and topical therapies combined with hyperbolic oxygen treatment. The contributors evaluate endovascular techniques and strategies for leg revascularization and review CLI classfication systems and current CLI management techniques from both European and US perspectives. The book also examines percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and below-the-knee angioplasty.

Venous diseases are becoming more and more frequent.

Therefore, it is increasingly important for physicians and surgeons to make an accurate and early diagnosis of weaknesses in the vein wall, and to effect and monitor the care plan. This color atlas serves the needs of a wide range of professionals by reinforcing diagnostic skills and suggesting effective management tools.

Through an array of colour photographs, x-rays, drawings, and concise text, it covers the basic anatomy, the different types of varices, the clinical stages of chronic venous stasis, and inflammatory venous changes.

Cardiothoracic Surgery New!

New!

Comprehensive Surgical Management of Congenital Heart Disease

Recent Advances and Techniques in Cardiac Surgery

Second Edition Richard A. Jonas Children’s National Heart Institute, Washington, D.C. and George Washington University, USA

Praise for the First Edition: "This book is a display of superior individual knowledge—virtually encyclopaedic. The most difficult technical procedures are described with accuracy that reflect the skills and talents of a masterful surgeon. Any congenital cardiac surgeon, any surgical trainee interested in congenital cardiac surgery, will consult this book with great pleasure."

—Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

Since the first edition of this book was published in 2004, the management of congenital heart disease has continued to evolve at a rapid pace. Not only have new operations been developed and expanded, such as the intra/extracardiac conduit Fontan and the double root translocation for corrected transposition, but in addition, diagnostic methods—particularly cardiac CT and MRI—have been dramatically transformed.

Understanding of the genetic basis of congenital heart disease and the embryology of cardiac development has progressed even more rapidly. What has not changed is that optimal outcomes for children and adults with congenital heart disease can only be achieved by a collaborative team effort. The team includes not only congenital cardiac surgeons but also pediatric cardiac nurses, pediatric cardiologists, perfusion and respiratory technicians, pediatric cardiac intensivists, pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists, ultrasonographers, and MRI and catheter laboratory technicians.

This second edition of Comprehensive Surgical Management of Congenital Heart Disease describes in detail the contemporary practice of Richard A. Jonas and the cardiac team at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The book once again includes numerous beautiful illustrations providing comprehensive and detailed information about intraoperative management of the entire spectrum of congenital heart surgery. In addition, the companion VitalSource eBook contains more than 50 operative videos that have been edited and narrated to highlight the key steps in complex surgical procedures.

The book incorporates an evidence-based approach, supported throughout by numerous scientific citations, to explain when and why an operation should be done as well as the risks, benefits, and potential complications.

Heart Disease and the Surgical Patient Edited by

Simon Howell Leeds General Infirmary, UK

Chris Pepper Yorkshire Heart Centre and Leeds University, UK

Donat R. Spahn University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland

Cardiac complications are a leading cause of death after surgery. This all-inclusive guide examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of perioperative myocardial injury and infarction, and provides an expert assessment of the latest methods and strategies for the optimal care of these patients. The book considers the impact of new strategies such as perioperative myocardial revascularization, perioperative betablockade, and other pharmaco- and sympatholytic therapies in patient management. It also covers methods to anaesthetize patients with cardiac disease presenting for non-cardiac surgery and explains how anesthetic management may affect operative outcomes.
