Vascular surgery. Why, when, how. A reasoned approach to decision making through experience

di Piergiorgio Settembrini (Autore)

Minerva Medica, 2017

The modern history of vascular reconstructive surgery started during the last period of WWII and particularly during the Korean War by American surgeons, who could utilize the new plastic fabrics, like nylon, Vinyon and Dacron. In the last 50 years, vascular grafting spread largely and allowed to save numberless limbs. Obviously, the scope was to save the affected limb, but this has not fully been achieved because another field has developed in the last years: the endovascular treatment of vascular obstructions and the introduction of endovascular grafts. This book collect the best experience of the most notable authors and their surgical schools in Europe and North America to introduce and design the concept of a tailored treatment for each patient, because we are not all the same “thing” and our bodies are different. Every surgeon has developed tips and tricks to ameliorate his results, by minimizing the risks for the patients and shortening the duration of surgery and hospital stay. Through this text the experience of the masters can be transmitted to young vascular surgeons.
