Elsevier Endovascology: Endovascular Treatment of Vascular Systematic Pathologies

Vascular diseases have high incidence, disability and mortality rates. Endovascular treatment is an important option as an alternative to open surgery, with the proven ability to counter severe pathologies. China-based research into vascular diseases and endovascular surgery has been proceeding apace. Endovascology presents, for the first time, the latest research, clinical outcomes, and research frontiers from one of the leading institutes in China specializing in endovascular surgery ― the Vascular Surgery Department of Changhai Hospital. Specifically, in this book, chapters cover each aspect of vascular disease: Vascular heart disease; Congenital heart disease; Arteriosclerotic heart disease; Thoracic aortic pathology; Thoracoabdominal aortic pathology; Infrarenal abdominal aortic pathology; Cerebral perfusion arteries; Upper limb vessels; Abdominal visceral arteries; Iliac artery; Lower limb artery; Varicose veins; Deep venous thrombosis of the lower limb; Pelvic congestion syndrome; Inferior vena cava and portal vein; Pulmonary artery; and Lymphatic diseases. Endovascology presents a global medical audience with an ambitious, systematic and exhaustive review of vascular diseases, and the state-of-the art in clinical research and practice in endovascology. It will be of use to surgeons, trainees in minimally invasive cardiovascular techniques, vascular disease researchers, and medical students alike.

He founded the Department in 1989, carrying out the first endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurism in China, in 1997, and the first case of endovascular treatment of Aortic Dissection (AD), in 1998. He has obtained numerous patents, and has published over 500 papers and 40 monographs. The department he founded is characterized by minimally invasive endovascular treatment of vascular diseases. Feng Jiaxuan is Deputy Chief Physician and Associate Professor of Vascular Surgery, at Changhai Hospital, in China. He is a member of key committees, including the Research and Translational Expert Committee on Endovascular Surgery, and the Expert Committee on Visceral Artery Diseases. He is, in addition, a certified senior interpreter in Shanghai.
