"Peripheral vascular disease refers to a cluster of conditions in which atherosclerosis (narrowing of the blood vessel wall) occurs in the peripheral vascular system, especially in the legs, causing significant disability and risk of amputation and infection. The worldwide prevalence of peripheral vascular disease, also known as peripheral arterial disease, increased 24% from 2000-2010, with about 70% of sufferers living in low to mid income regions. Approximately 202 million people suffered from peripheral vascular disease in 2010, with about 27 million in Europe and North America; 55 million in South East Asia; and 46 million in the Western Pacific region. Key risk factors include smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Given that peripheral vascular disease is more common in those over 60 years old, the incidence of disease is expected to grow as the population continues to age. Despite these statistics, many interventional cardiology fellowship programs do not include training on peripheral vascular interventions"--Provided by publisher Title page Copyright Contributors Preface Table of Contents 1 History of Endovascular Intervention, Fluoroscopy, Basics of Angiography, Contrast, Patient Selection, and Informed Consent 2 Acute Stroke Intervention 3 Cervical Carotid and Vertebral Disease 4 Subclavian Artery Stenosis/Interventions 5a Coarctation of the Aorta 5b Endovascular Management of the Ascending Aorta and the Aortic Arch 6 Endovascular Repair of the Descending Aorta 7 Pulmonary Artery Stenosis 8 Renovascular Disease 9 Endovascular Intervention of Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease 10 Endovascular Interventions in Superficial Femoral Artery Disease 11 Below Knee Revascularization 12 Drug-Coated Therapies 13 Stent Therapies in the Lower Extremity: Bare-Metal, Drug-Eluting, and Reabsorbable Stents 14 Atherectomy for Peripheral Arterial Disease 15 Current Use and Availability of Reentry Devices 16 Acute Limb Ischemia: Thrombectomy and Thrombolysis 17 Hybrid Lower Extremity Revascularization 18 Pharmacotherapy in Peripheral Artery Disease 19 Vascul
