Results of iliac branch stent-grafts

The introduction of endovascular stent-grafts dramatically improved treatment for many abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms. More recently the development of endovascular methods to treat complex aortic aneurysm disease that involved vital branch arteries has been an equally dramatic sea change in the way aortic pathology can be effectively managed. ... Clearly described chapters on all sorts and combinations of fenestrated and branched endografts for various aortic pathologies are included. Some other chapters have been written by other experts who are the key leaders, innovators, or advocates of a specific technique or most experienced in a given anatomical area. Many of the chapters include technical tips on how these techniques are best performed and how to avoid pitfalls and treat complications. .... In addition, there is an extensive case study atlas which provides examples of preparation and implantation of custom-made, off-the-shelf-manufactured, physician-modified, off-label, and parallel aortic stent grafts. .. This volume is a must have for those who will make the treatment of complex aortic pathology a major part of their practice. …This volume will deservedly become a classic text in vascular surgery and of great value to all other specialists interested in complex aortic disease.
