Thoraco-abdominal aneurysms. Follow-up and reinterventions

Nowadays, new devices and techniques are constantly being introduced in endovascular surgery, therefore it is crucial to proactively and regularly update our knowledge, so that new approaches may hopefully be developed, which allow the best possible application of the new tools available. This book has been conceived with the aim of uniting all of the most authoritative Italian experts of endovascular surgery and many prestigious international colleagues in the compilation of an updated textbook on complex endovascular aortic procedures, which in some cases have been described and clarified by the very ones who performed them for the first time. This volume is meant for vascular surgeons as s revision of the latest research results, but also for students and residents as a reference work on endovascular surgical procedures - with its schematic explanations, it is an accessible read even to young doctors who are just starting out in this branch of surgery.
