There is no standard textbook at this time on endovascular management of thoracic aortic pathologies. Atlas of Thoracic Aortic Endografting contains clinical case scenarios as well as controversies to highlight the use of this new technology. The various aortic pathologies are discussed, combining etiology, diagnostic tools like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and 64 slice CT scans which are all state of the art technologies, endovascular treatment, management of endoleaks, reinterventions combined with techniques of trouble shooting. This book highlights the new changes in the management of thoracic aortic diseases.

Additional text
From the reviews:
“This atlas encompasses the planning, techniques, and equipment required for endovascular treatment of complex aortic pathology from the arch to the iliacs. … This book targets practitioners who perform, or are in training in order to perform, complex endovascular procedures for aortic pathology. … This is a good and relatively up-to-date reference on complex endoaortic surgery. It is helpful for vascular surgeons who require a start-to-finish approach to these cases, from planning to management of complications.” (Mark K. Eskandari, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)
