Unexpected Challenges in Vascular Surgery

Despite accurate preoperative assessment and adequate preparation, unexpected
and sometimes disastrous situations can occur during vascular and endovascular
procedures.
Vascular and endovascular surgeons should therefore also be familiar with
skills and techniques to solve unforeseen intraoperative complications.

The 2005 EVC-book addresses the most important issues with wich surgeons can be
faced during vascular and endovascular procedures, including thirteen chapters
on aortic neck problems during open and endovascular repair, ruptured clamp
sites, ureteral lesions, unintentional covering of side branches, totally
calcified aorta and embolization. Accidental conditions during carotid and
lower limb revascularization are covered in six chapters and additional
challenges are described in another seven chapters.
