This book follows the concept of perceiving the entire aorta as one
functional organ assuming that all individual pathologies and local
interventional procedures affect the up- and downstream segments with
consequences for complications and disease progression. Thus any
preventive or surgical strategy must recognize the aortic disease in its
entirety.
The book intends to cover the full spectrum of
aortic pathologies, mechanisms and functional interplay. The latest
available diagnostic tools and options for surgical treatment are
presented by the foremost experts in their field in state-of-the-art
reviews. The reader is provided with the most current and comprehensive
insight into all fundamental and clinical aspects of aortic disease. All
chapters are carefully complemented with figures and illustrations.
