Atlas of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy: Surgical Anatomy, Open, Endovascular, and Hybrid Techniques for Aortic, Cerebrovascular, Peripheral, Venous, and Hemodialysis Access Surgery

Vascular surgery encompasses one of the broadest operative landscapes in all of surgery. The surgeon who performs carotid endarterectomy in the morning and fenestrated endovascular aortic repair in the afternoon, who manages an acute mesenteric embolus one week and constructs a brachiobasilic fistula the next, requires a reference that covers every domain with the operative depth each procedure deserves.The Atlas of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy is a comprehensive illustrated operative reference covering the complete spectrum of open, endovascular, and hybrid vascular surgical procedures across eleven sections. It is written for vascular surgeons, vascular surgery fellows, surgical residents rotating through vascular surgery, and any surgeon who requires a procedure-level operative reference grounded in surgical anatomy, technical precision, and evidence-based decision making.The atlas opens with three foundational chapters covering preoperative risk stratification and operative fundamentals, endovascular mechanics including fluoroscopy, vascular access, guidewires, catheters, and intravascular imaging, and the complete endovascular therapeutic toolkit including balloon angioplasty, stent technology, embolic agents, and catheter-directed thrombolysis. These chapters establish the technical and physiological framework required before any regional procedure is approached.Regional anatomy and operative technique are then organized into dedicated sections covering extracranial cerebrovascular disease including carotid endarterectomy by standard and eversion technique, carotid angioplasty and stenting, TCAR with dynamic flow reversal, and vertebral artery reconstruction; aortic arch and upper thoracic vessel disease including innominate and subclavian reconstruction and thoracic outlet syndrome across all three forms; thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta including open Crawford extent repair with spinal cord protection protocols and TEVAR for aneurysm, dissection, and trauma; abdominal aorta and iliac arteries including open infrarenal, juxtarenal, and pararenal repair, standard and fenestrated EVAR, branched endograft technology, and aortoiliac occlusive disease; renal, mesenteric, and visceral arteries including renovascular reconstruction, acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia, and visceral artery aneurysms; and late aortic graft complications including infection, pseudoaneurysm, and aortoenteric fistula management with NAIS and allograft reconstruction.Lower extremity arterial disease is covered across infrainguinal bypass surgery for all target vessels, endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal and tibiopopliteal disease, popliteal artery aneurysm and entrapment, and amputation surgery and fasciotomy. Venous disease chapters cover IVC filter placement and retrieval, catheter-directed thrombolysis for iliofemoral DVT, mechanical thrombectomy for pulmonary embolism, chronic venous insufficiency including thermal and non-thermal saphenous ablation, and IVC and perihepatic venous reconstruction for malignant disease. Hemodialysis access chapters cover autogenous fistula creation across all configurations, prosthetic graft placement, and management of every major access complication.The final section addresses hybrid vascular procedures, robotic-assisted vascular surgery, simulation training, artificial intelligence in vascular surgery, quality improvement, and a capstone evidence synthesis chapter covering landmark trials and current society guidelines across every vascular territory.Every chapter includes surgical anatomy, a clinical pearl, an evidence-based medicine box referencing named landmark trials and current SVS and AHA guidelines, a treatment decision algorithm, and pitfalls and danger points specific to each procedure. The atlas contains surgical illustrations, operative diagrams, and anatomical images distributed across all chapters. Read more
