"This book provides a thorough yet succinct and accessible review of the latest knowledge in the field of endovascular surgery. All chapters have been updated to reflect the advances that have occurred during the past five years, and new chapters are included on carotid artery stenting and day case intervention. The chapter on lower limb veno-occlusive disease has been expanded to include management of deep venous thrombosis. Among the other topics considered are the endovascular treatment options in different arterial territories, aneurysm repair techniques, and the management of venous stenosis and venous insufficiency. The aim throughout is to tackle issues of evidence-based practice in order to assist trainees and experienced practitioners in making and implementing treatment decisions. "

"A comprehensive textbook of some of the most common and difficult to deal with pathologies. The first truly international, multidisciplinary manual of foot and ankle surgery by the specialty’s leaders and most experienced surgeons. The management of various conditions in the foot and ankle will be approached by authors in different parts of the world. Authors will be invited to provide radiographs, diagrams, and intra-operative pictures to illustrate the procedures described. Current up to date trends and techniques using a scientific approach including evidence based guidelines where applicable. "

"ABSTRACTPurposesVascular surgery (VS) has a higher perioperative mortality than other types of surgery. We compared different scores for predicting mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after open VS.MethodsPatients admitted to the ICU after open VS from 2006 to 2013 were included. We calculated the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE), Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS), Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM) and Preoperative Score to Predict Postoperative Mortality (POSPOM). We performed multivariate logistic regression to assess independent factors with the calculation of odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We tested the predictive ability of the scores using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC).ResultsA total of 833 consecutive patients were included. Hospital mortality was 5,1% (1,3% after intermediate-risk and 8,4% after high-risk surgery). In the multivariate analysis, the age (OR 1,04, 95% CI 1,01-1,08, p = 0,013), smoking status (OR 2,46, 95% CI 1,16-5,21, p = 0,019), surgery risk (OR 2,92, 95% CI 1,058,08, p = 0,040), serum sodium level (OR 1,17, 95% CI 1,10-1,26, p < 0,001), urea (OR 1,01, 95% CI 1,01-1,02, p = 0,001) and leukocyte count (OR 1,05, 95% CI 1,01-1,10, p = 0,009) at admission were considered independent predictors. Hematocrit (0,86, 95% CI 0,80-0,93, p < 0.001) was considered an independent protective factor. The AUROC of our model was 0,860, compared to SAPS (0,752), APACHE (0,774), POSPOM (0,798) and POSSUM (0,829).ConclusionThe observed mortality was within the predicted range (1-5% after intermediate-risk and > 5% after high-risk surgery). POSSUM and POSPOM had slightly better predictive capacity than SAPS or APACHE."
