Surgical Management of Aortic Pathology: Current Fundamentals for the Clinical Management of Aortic Disease 1st ed. 2019 Edition

Aortic Disease: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Management

This comprehensive volume presents a holistic view of the aorta as a single, functional organ, emphasizing that any local pathology or interventional procedure can influence upstream and downstream segments — often determining disease progression and potential complications. Building on this integrative concept, the book underscores the importance of treating aortic disease in its entirety, rather than as isolated segments.

Key Features:

• Unified Aortic Concept: Explores how localized conditions or interventions impact the entire aortic system, shaping both clinical outcomes and long-term management strategies.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Encompasses the full spectrum of aortic pathologies, from structural and functional abnormalities to degenerative, inflammatory, and genetic conditions.
• Mechanisms and Functional Interplay: Delves into the pathophysiologic mechanisms linking different segments of the aorta, providing a clear understanding of systemic effects.
• State-of-the-Art Diagnostics and Treatment: Reviews the latest imaging modalities, diagnostic innovations, and surgical and endovascular techniques presented by leading global experts.
• Expert Contributions: Each chapter is authored by renowned specialists, offering evidence-based, clinically relevant reviews supported by the latest research.
• Rich Visual Support: Includes detailed figures, illustrations, and imaging examples to enhance comprehension of complex anatomy and procedures.
