Mayo Clinic - International Vascular Symposium 2011

Advances and Controversies in Vascular Medicine, Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Interventions presents the latest developments and current guidelines in the evaluation and multidisciplinary care of vascular patients at Mayo Clinic today. The volume includes contributions from vascular physicians, surgeons, radiologists, interventionists, neurologists and other experts in vascular diseases, as they were presented at the Mayo Clinic International Vascular Symposium, organized in Paris, France, September 9-11, 2011. Outstanding presentations made at this meeting by a select group of invited French and international vascular specialists are also included.
The chapters of this comprehensive and multidisciplinary book cover progress in evaluation and treatment of acute and chronic, arterial and venous diseases. There is emphasis on endovascular vs. open reconstructions for aortic aneurysms and other aortic pathologies, for carotid, renal, mesenteric and peripheral arterial diseases. The latest advances in medical, endovascular and open surgical treatment of venous diseases are discussed in detail, including new drug therapies, venous stenting, catheter directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, endovenous thermal ablations, foam and liquid sclerotherapy. The Great International Debates argue on controversies in carotid and renal artery stenting, on the role of thrombolysis in acute iliofemoral and axillary-subclavian venous thrombosis and on the best therapy of varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
