Description and Table of Contents
Description
In the light of the fact that, currently, occlusive vascular disease is treated with methods offering limited benefits in the majority of symptomatic patients, there is interest in improving our knowledge of the aetiology of atherosclerosis as a means to improving diagnosis and therapy. Newer interventional methods to recanalize stenotic and occluded vascular segments, such as thrombolysis, balloon dilations and instruments such as atherectomy devices, lasers and stents, are being evaluated for their potential to treat obstructing lesions. This book reviews the knowledge of aetiology, natural history and quantitation of atherosclerosis and details the current status and utility of endovascular surgical devices and procedures. The figures in the book are described by brief captions stating current advantages, limitations and perspectives for future development. Occasional references are also cited to provide further documentation for points of particular interest and to establish a bibliography of controversial issues.
