COMPLICATIONS ARTERIAL SURGERY:

A guide to the incidence, recognition, management and prevention of complications during arterial surgery.

---

In the first part of the book, general problems are given their own chapters: haemorrhagic, cardiac, respiratory and renal complications are each discussed, as is venous thromboembolism. The complications of specific operations are then covered, including carotid, aortic (infrarenal and suprarenal), femorodistal and visceral reconstruction. There are separate sections on the complications of acute limb ischaemia and arterial trauma. The problems of each type of procedure are described individually, using cross-referencing where necessary. Medicolegal aspects, probable outcome, audit and potential pitfalls are also covered. Not only has the author drawn on his own experience of arterial surgery, but he has also invited specialist contributions from experts in other areas to give comprehensive coverage of the subject. 'Complications in Arterial Surgery' will be an essential purchase for practising vascular surgeons, general surgeons and senior surgical trainees. It may also prove of interest to other health professionals involved with this type of surgery.
