Arteries And Veins

Over the last three decades, vascular surgery has transformed into a new specialty incorporating endovascular therapies. The field of vascular and endovascular therapy covers an extensive range of conditions and disorders of the arteries and veins such as lower limb ischaemia, abdominal aortic aneurysm, carotid disease, and varicose veins. This chapter covers recent key clinical evidence associated with the above conditions.

This chapter covers vascular operations. Treatments described for varicose veins are high tie and multiple avulsions, radio-frequency ablation, and foam sclerotherapy. Repair of elective and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and endovascular repair are described. Operations like aortobifemoral bypass, femoral popliteal above- and below-knee bypass graft, and femoro-distal bypass are included. Urgent operations like femoral and brachial embolectomy, lower limb fasciotomy are also described. In addition, above- and below-knee amputations and vascular access are included.

Ischaemic Necrosis

This chapter on vascular surgery covers diseases of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems. The chapter is well structured, describing conditions seen commonly in clinic, in the emergency department, and in theatre. It includes a list of cases to see such as limb ischaemia and varicose veins. It reviews the diagnosis and management of a stable and leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm including repair. It includes a section on amputation which is pertinent to injuries seen due to ischaemic necrosis or malignancy. It reviews the classification of arterial disease and provides pictorial guidance for students. This chapter includes guidance for exam questions on history taking and examination. It is written for both those looking to apply for medicine, and those in medical school.

Associated Risk Factors

This chapter assesses peripheral vascular disease. It begins with acute limbic ischaemia; chronic upper limb ischaemia; chronic lower limb ischaemia; intermittent claudication; and critical limb ischaemia. The chapter then turns to aneurysms; ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm; vascular developmental abnormalities; carotid disease; vasospastic disorders; varicose veins; deep venous thrombosis; and thrombolysis. It also considers the diabetic foot and amputations, as well as complications in vascular surgery. Complications may occur in the perioperative, early, or late post-operative periods. In general, vascular patients are older and have increased cardiac, cerebral, pulmonary, and renal comorbidities. This is due to the associated risk factors of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia, and smoking.

This chapter begins by discussing the basic principles of haemostasis and coagulation and atherosclerosis, before focusing on the key areas of knowledge, namely assessment and management of peripheral arterial occlusive disease, acute lower limb ischaemia, extracranial arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, lymphatic conditions, diabetic foot, lower limb ulceration, and miscellaneous vascular conditions. The chapter concludes with relevant case-based discussions.
