Overview

This text is an authoritative, comprehensive review of the pathophysiological basis, diagnosis and management of disorders of the blood vessels that supply the gastrointestinal tract and major solid abdominal organs. Impaired blood supply of the viscera can have disasterous consequences such as multiple organ failure. Previously under-diagnosed, these conditions are becoming recognized as important contributors to post-operative morbidity and mortality. This text analyses in depth these conditions and their management by conservative, interventional radiological and surgical therapies. With this subject rapidly gaining momentum as both a research area and a topic of significant clinical importance, the book provides a timely and balanced discussion of the field.
