Book SynopsisDie Entwicklung neuer Materialien und Techniken ftir die Gefäß­ chirurgie hat den Horizont der gesamten Chirurgie in ungeahnter Weise erweitert und befruchtet. Stand früher im wesentlichen die sachgemäße Versorgung von Gefäßen im Vordergrund, so bieten sich heute zahllose Möglichkeiten einer Rekonstruktion der Blut­ strombahn und darüber hinaus der Schaffung neuer Blutwege bis hin zum Anschluß transplantierter oder künstlicher Organe. Kein Zweig unseres Faches ist hiervon ausgeschlossen. Wenn sich auch besondere Schwerpunkte der Gefäßchirurgie entwickelt haben, so muß doch jeder Operateur zumindest die sein eigenes Interessen­ gebiet betreffenden Gefäßeingriffe beherrschen. Insofern mutet der hier und da geäußerte Alleinvertretungsanspruch ftir die gesamte Gefäßchirurgie kurios an. Viele Chirurgen sind von dieser stürmischen Entwicklung über­ holt worden, während andere mangels Weiterbildungsmöglichkei­ ten oder eines geeigneten Krankengutes Mühe haben, diesen Fort­ schritt mitzuvollziehen. Diese Hemmnisse zu überwinden, hat sich der Autor ausdrücklich zum Ziel gesetzt. Die Gefäßchirurgie -wie jede andere operative Tätigkeit -steht auf drei Säulen. Einmal muß der gegenwärtige Stand des Wissens über die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Gefäßchirurgie vorhan­ den sein. Dann gilt es, die im Grunde einfachen, wenn auch durch besondere Sorgfaltspflicht gezeichneten Methoden der atraumati­ schen Handhabung von Gefäßen und deren Naht zu erlernen und schließlich muß der Zugriff zum Gefäßsystem "sitzen", das heißt, eindeutig, zweckmäßig und schonend sein. Diesem letzteren Ziel dient dieses Werk.Table of Contents1 Zugang zur Aorta thoracica.- 1.1 Zur Aorta ascendens.- 1.2 Zum Arcus aortae.- 1.2.1 Bilaterale transsternale Thorakotomie.- 1.2.2 Türflügelincision.- 1.3 Zur Aorta descendens.- 2 Zugang zum Truncus brachiocephalicus.- 3 Zugang zu den Carotiden.- 3.1 Zur Carotisgabel.- 3.2 Zur linken A. carotis communis.- 3.3 Zur rechten A. carotis communis.- 4 Zugang zur linken A. subclavia und linken A. vertebralis.- 4.1 Zum thorakalen Teil der linken A. subclavia.- 4.2 Supraclaviculärer Zugang zur linken A. subclavia und linken A. vertebralis.- 4.3 Darstellung der gesamten linken A. subclavia.- 5 Zugang zur rechten A. subclavia und rechten A. vertebralis.- 5.1 Supraclaviculärer Zugang.- 6 Zugang zur V. cava superior.- 7 Zugang zur A. pulmonalis.- 8 Zugang zur A. axillaris.- 8.1 Infraclaviculärer Zugang.- 8.2 Deltopectoraler Zugang.- 8.3 Axillärer Zugang.- 9 Zugang zur A. brachialis.- 9.1 Im proximalen Oberarm.- 9.2 Im distalen Oberarm.- 10 Zugang zu den Unterarmarterien.- 10.1 Zur A. radialis.- 10.2 Zur A. ulnaris.- 11 Zugang zur Aorta abdominalis.- 11.1 Zur infrarenalen Aorta.- 11.2 Variationen zum Standardverfahren.- 11.3 Zur gesamten suprarenalen Aorta.- 11.4 Zum oberen Abschnitt der suprarenalen Aorta.- 12 Zugang zur A. coeliaca.- 12.1 Rechter Zugang durch das kleine Netz.- 12.2 Linker Zugang durch das Ligamentum gastrocolicum.- 13 Zugang zur A. mesenterica superior.- 13.1 Infraduodenaler Zugang.- 13.2 Infrapankreatischer Zugang.- 14 Zugang zu den Aa. renales.- 14.1 Infracolischer Zugang zum renalen Aortensegment.- 14.2 Supracolischer Zugang zur linken A. renalis.- 14.3 Supracolischer Zugang zur rechten A. renalis.- 15 Zugang zur V. cava inferior.- 15.1 Retroperitonealer Zugang.- 15.2 Transperitonealer Zugang.- 15.3 Zugang zur suprarenalen V. cava inferior.- 16 Zugang zur V. portae.- 17 Zugang zu den Beckengefäßen.- 17.1 Transperitonealer Zugang zur rechten A. iliaca.- 17.2 Transperitonealer Zugang zur linken A. iliaca.- 17.3 Retroperitonealer Zugang zu den Beckengefäßen.- 17.4 Zugang zu den Glutealarterien.- 17.5 Vorgehen beim Obturatorbypass.- 18 Zugang zu den Oberschenkelgefäßen.- 18.1 Zur Femoralisgabel.- 18.2 Zur A. femoralis superficialis im Oberschenkelbereich.- 18.3 Zur A. femoralis superficialis in Höhe des Adduktorenkanals.- 18.4 Zur A. profunda femoris.- 19 Zugang zur A. poplitea.- 19.1 Medialer Zugang.- 19.1.1 Zum 1.

Book SynopsisVascular surgery has seen a remarkable evolution. A discipline focused on the natural history and treatment of vascular disease by open operation is now primarily a minimally invasive specialty. Mastery of the basic pathophysiology has been retained while the transformation by improved imaging and endovascular intervention has been integrated into practice.This fourth edition of Vascular Surgery: Principles and Practice has incorporated these advances building on the specialty’s past assets. Knowledge of natural history and open surgery will always have an essential role in optimal care of patients with vascular diseases. The authors’ exposition of the old and the new will make this edition a valuable resource for vascular surgeons and all others dedicated to the care of vascular patients.Trade Review"In the final analysis, this book reflects the changes to vascular surgery all have witnessed in the last 50+ years,adhering to tried and true principles while adopting evidence-based medicine. It is an excellent reference for vascular surgeons in training and a worthy review book for established practitioners wishing to refresh their knowledge in areas on the periphery of their expertise."Gary W. Lemmon, MD, FACS Professor Vascular Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Society for Vascular SurgeryTable of ContentsExposition of interventional methods. Vascular anatomy, techniques and complications associated with transplantation surgery. Extracranial vascular disease. Carotid artery stenting. Management of asymptomatic carotid artery disease.

Book SynopsisThe study of valvular heart disease has progressed rapidly over the past two decades. The understanding of etiology and natural history, the precision of noninvasive assessment, and the surgical and interventional management of valve disease have all improved dramatically. Coupled with an appreciation of physiologic principles, thoughtful interviews and physical exam, current technology allows clinicians to characterize all types of valve lesion. In addition, evolving techniques in interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery, guided by quantitative outcome analysis, have reduced the morbidity and mortality of these procedures.Reflecting all the above and evidence-based medical practice, the authors aim to provide a concise and straightforward guide to the recognition and management of valvular heart disease, complemented by current guidelines and abundant high quality images. It will be a valuable reference for all involved in the care of patients with valvular heart disease, including cardiologists in practice and training, young hospital doctors, general physicians, cardiac nurse specialists, and medical students.Table of ContentsApproach to the Patient.

Book SynopsisAuch wenn zunehmend minimal-invasive Verfahren bei Gefäßeingriffen angewandt werden, sind konventionelle Operationsverfahren für manche Indikationen nach wie vor die Methode der Wahl. In dem Band haben die Autoren zu allen operativ zugänglichen Gefäßprovinzen die einzelnen Operationstechniken der offenen Gefäßchirurgie, ihre Varianten und ihre Besonderheiten zusammengefasst. Für schwierige Situationen zeigen sie Alternativverfahren und Auswege auf. Der Band bietet über 400 Zeichnungen, die sich auf die wesentlichen Informationen konzentrieren.Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen: “... Besonders hervorzuheben sind die sehr guten Zeichnungen, die durch entsprechende Operationsbilder verdeutlicht werden. ... handelt es sich bei dem Buch um ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk, das jeder Gefäßchirurg besitzen sollte.“ (Friedhelm Beyersdorf, in: Deutsches Ärzteblatt, Heft 49, 5. Dezember 2014)“... Ein wichtiges Buch! ... Es ist extrem gut bebildert. Auffällig sind die vielen intraoperativen Photographien, welche gemeinsam mit den Schemazeichnungen eine exzellente Orientierung und Vorstellung, auch für den nicht versierten Gefäßchirurgen,erlauben ... Auch seltene Operationen werden so detailliert beschrieben, dass beispielsweise Vertebralarterieneingriffe problemlos verstanden werden. Auch der Abschnitt über Aortenbogenarterien und das Aneurysma-Debranching ist exzellent gelungen ... Insgesamt ein lesenswertes Buch, welches seinen Preis wert ist.“ (Johannes, in: amazon.de, 01/April/2014)Table of ContentsEinleitung Abkürzungsverzeichnis I Allgemeines 1 Instrumente 2 Hilfsgeräte 3 Grundprinzipien arterieller Rekonstruktionen 4 Grundprinzipien venöser Rekonstruktionen II Spezielle Operationen an Arterien 5 A. carotis interna 6 A. vertebralis 7 Aortenbogenarterien 8 A. subclavia 9 Armarterien 10 Aorta thoracalis und thorakoabdominalis 11 Aorta abdominalis 12 Intestinalarterien 13 Nierenarterien 14 A. iliaca 15 Femoralisgabel 16 A. profunda femoris 17 A. femoralis superficialis 18 A. poplitea 19 Kruralarterien 20 Pedalarterien III Spezielle Operationen an den Venen 21 Venen obere Körperhälfte 22 Pfortadersystem 23 V. cava inferior 24 Becken- und Femoralvenen 25 Varikose IV Lymphgefäßchirurgie 26 Obere Extremität 27 Untere Extremität Stichwortverzeichnis Übersichtsliteratur

Book SynopsisDer Dialyseshunt als moderne Form des permanenten Gefäßzugangs ist grundlegender Bestandteil der Betreuung des chronisch niereninsuffizienten Patienten. In diesem Band wird das komplette Spektrum der Fragestellungen rund um Dialyseshunts fachkundig und umfassend abgehandelt: von der interdisziplinären Vorbereitung der Gefäßuntersuchung durch Nephrologen und Gefäßchirurgen, über die Diskussion unterschiedlicher chirurgischer Möglichkeiten der direkten Gefäßzugänge bis hin zur Shuntpflege und Shuntpunktion. Darüber hinaus werden Diagnostik und Therapie bei Komplikationen sowie alternative Dialysezugänge detailliert dargestellt. Mit der 1. Auflage dieses Buches wurde vor 10 Jahren erstmals eine interdisziplinäre, gefäßchirurgisch und nephrologisch angelegte Darstellung des großen Gebietes der Dialyseshunts in deutscher Sprache vorgelegt. Diese 2. Auflage belegt die weitere rasche Entwicklung dieses immens wichtigen Gebietes.Trade ReviewDialyseshunts – Grundlagen, Chirurgie, Komplikationen Herausgeber W. Hepp, M. Koch, K. Konner Steinkopff Verlag, 2. Auflage, 2009 Nach dem Ersterscheinen 1998 liegt, von vielen Interessenten sehnlich erwartet, die zweite, überarbeitete und deutlich erweiterte Auflage des Buches „Dialyseshunts" vor. Den Herausgebern Wolfgang Hepp, Michael Koch und Klaus Konner ist es gelungen, mit Hilfe eines hochkarätigen Autorenteams eine zeitgemäße und die Disziplinen übergreifende Darstellung zur äußerst wichtigen Thematik des Dialyseshunts zu präsentieren. Einleitend findet sich ein beeindruckend kenntnisreicher Artikel zur "Geschichte der Dialysetechnik", eine Fundgrube für alle Nephrologen und historisch Interessierte, die hier sicherlich viel Freude finden. Kompetente Ausführungen zu den Grundlagen der Hämo- und Peritonealdialyse sowie zum Thema "Dialyse und Nierentransplantation" leiten dann über zu Kapiteln über die präoperative Phase der Shuntanlage, die die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit bei der Planung des Gefäßzuganges exemplarisch beleuchtet. Die Einheit "Klinik, Dopplersonographie und Angiographie" auf dem Weg zur ersten Operation wird äußerst lehrreich und anschaulich dargelegt. Chirurgische Aspekte werden auch für nicht operativ tätige Leser verständlich und kompetent abgehandelt, ergänzt um anschauliches Bildmaterial. Auch die dominante Rolle körpereigener Gefäße zur Shuntanlage erfährt eine überzeugende Darstellung. Der letztlich in einigen Fällen unverzichtbare Einsatz von Gefäßprothesen und zentralvenösen Kathetern wird dabei ausführlich und kritisch besprochen. Die große Vielfalt chirurgischer wie interventioneller Techniken und ihre Differential-Indikationen im Einsatz sind ein Beleg für die Professionalität und Kreativität, die die "Nischendisziplin" der Shuntchirurgie und -intervention heutzutage von allen beteiligten Disziplinen fordert. Bereichernd lesenswerte Ausführungen über "Kardiovaskuläre Risken des urämischen Patienten" runden den hervorragenden Gesamteindruck dieser Neuerscheinung ab. Die Widmung dieses Werkes an die verstorbene Mit-Autorin Frau Prof. Barbara Nonnast-Daniel berührt. Es gilt einem Buch, das einen herausragend hohen Standard setzt, weite Verbreitung und Akzeptanz zu wünschen - aus meiner Sicht ein „Muss" für jeden Nephrologen, Shuntchirurgen und interventionell tätigen Radiologen. Vor dem Hintergrund ähnlicher fremdsprachiger Publikationen nimmt der besprochene Band auch international eine Spitzenstellung ein. Die Anregung einer Übersetzung in die englische Sprache erscheint zwingend.

Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive guide to the essentials of arterial, venous, wound care, and multidisciplinary approaches to prevent major amputation and manage patients with critical limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). Limb preservation has become increasingly prioritized as endovascular techniques, equipment, understanding of multidisciplinary wound care, and other medical treatments have rapidly evolved. Quite often, these patients have CLTI, which is a primarily chronic arterial disease that carries a higher mortality rate than most cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, complex venous issues contribute to patients losing their limbs, causing significant morbidity to patients and immense cost to the medical system. Many of these patients have diabetes, kidney problems, and hypertension. Due to the advances in the treatment of CLTI and complex venous diseases, medical professionals have been able to decrease major amputations, which cause the higher mortality rate described above. The knowledge of all the approaches, techniques, and management of these patients, however, has been slow to be disseminated.Acting as a structured journey to all aspects of limb preservation, this book begins by covering the basics of understanding wound care patients. This involves beginning wound care management and properly diagnosing the potential underlying processes with non-invasive imaging. From here, clinical pearls and detailed guidance on considering arterial, venous, and lymphatic therapies are covered. Chapters then move into arterial and venous treatment algorithms, from unique to complex approaches, technique tips and tricks, infection and complication management, and future options. Understanding some of the newer approaches such as deep vein arterialization and hybrid surgical approaches is integral in the discussion. Finally, authors cover evaluating the wound post-procedure and long-term, deciding when re-intervention/surgery or amputation (and which type) is needed, and how to tackle the medication management of these complex patients (such as antiplatelets, anticoagulation, diabetes, and nutrition). Chapters are written by a multidisciplinary group of experts, all with an eye towards limb preservation.This is an ideal guide for endovascular specialists, surgeons, podiatrists, infectious disease specialists, and endocrinologists to be able to successfully increase the likeliness of limb preservation for their patients with CLTI and related conditions.Table of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisThis book looks at specific vascular surgery questions that have arisen and where careful analysis is given according to the level of supporting evidence available. As new technology is introduced to treat the cardiovascular system, alternative therapies begin to challenge and also complement traditional vascular surgery. All chapters contain the PICO table to summarise specific characteristics relative to the questions posed in each chapter.Difficult Decisions in Vascular Surgery- An Evidence-Based Approach is a current and timely reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators, that describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations.Trade Review“This is a useful resource for vascular trainees or vascular attendings throughout their careers as they face difficult situations that they do not encounter on a routine basis. … This is an accessible and well‐organized resource for dissecting the components of decision-making for clinical scenarios in vascular surgery. It provides a useful overview of the literature for each scenario and management recommendations graded by level of evidence. I found it to be a good resource.” (Katherine Hekman, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2017)Table of ContentsSection 1: Aortic Disease Ch. 1: In patients with Acute Type B Aortic dissection, do current operative therapies reduce complications compared to medical management?

Book SynopsisDas Buch gibt eine kompakte Übersicht über Ätiologie, Klinik, Diagnostik und Therapie der iliakalen Endofibrose, einer Sonderform der peripheren arteriellen Verschlusskrankheit. Es wendet sich an Ärzte und Physiotherapeuten, die Ausdauersportler betreuen, aber auch an betroffene Athleten selbst. Das Krankheitsbild wurde 1985 erstmals bei einem Radrennfahrer beschrieben. Die Symptome sind meist belastungsabhängige Oberschenkelschmerzen, die die Karriere der oft ambitionierten Athleten gefährden. Da der Untersuchungsbefund unter Ruhebedingungen regelhaft unauffällig ist, kann es zu jahrelanger Verzögerung der Diagnosestellung kommen.Table of ContentsErstbeschreibung der iliakalen Endofibrose.- Ätiologie und Pathogenese.- Diagnostische Möglichkeiten und Fallstricke.- Therapieoptionen.
