Acute mesenteric ischemia

The monograph presents a review of current knowledge on the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of acute mesenteric vascular occlusions leading to acute intestinal ischemia. Successful treatment of the disease requires a comprehensive approach and close collaboration between the diagnosing radiologist, general and vascular surgeon, interventional radiologist and an experienced intensivist. The full-colour book for postgraduate studies is very well documented with pictures (17 pen drawings, 37 photographs, 8 tables and diagrams).
