by Bart Dolmatch, Ulrich Blum

The first comprehensive review of the diverse applications of stent grafts, this new work provides a detailed guide to this rapidly growing field.

You'll find thorough coverage of essential topics like design differences in stent grafts, synthetic stent-graft materials, and healing in response to stent-grafts. The book also includes insightful analysis of surgical versus stent-graft treatments of abdominal aortic aneurysms, anesthesia considerations, and new areas of use such as coronary artery stent-grafts and AV shunt stent-grafts. For complete coverage of this exploding technology, its current uses, and future directions, this book is unparalleled.
