Endovascular and Hybrid Management of the Thoracic Aorta shows the reader how to use the endovascular or hybrid approach to offer state-of-the-art treatment to patients.

Written by internationally recognized cardiovascular specialists, this well-illustrated book explores the use of modern imaging and advanced surgical and interventional techniques to manage pathologies of the thoracic aorta.

Endovascular and Hybrid Management of the Thoracic Aorta covers the use of:

• advanced 64 slice CT imaging
• intravascular ultrasound
• transesophageal echocardiography

It also discusses:

• etiology
• diagnostic tools
• management of specific thoracic aortic pathologies
