Printed in a pocket-sized paperback edition, the Manual of Vascular Diseases is a thorough review of what is inarguably a far-ranging clinical discipline. This primer on vascular disease illustrates clarity of thought and possesses brevity and excellent organization. It is thankfully not an attempt to present a voluminous analysis of the entire spectrum of vascular diseases. Such undertakings have been splendidly helmed in the past by Dr Jeffrey Olin, a contributing author to this text, and Dr Mark Creager, both of whom have each authored superb hardcover texts on the subject. Instead, this text manages to cover the salient clinical entities that a nonvascular medicine expert ought to know to effectively treat these diseases. With the advent of board certification for vascular medicine and endovascular intervention last year offered by the American Board of Vascular Medicine, the utility of such a text becomes readily apparent. It is sure to be a well-used resource for the increasing number of physicians in cardiology alone that now manage and treat these patients. The text is presented in 28 chapters that focus on the more commonly encountered problems in vascular medicine. The short bibliography accompanying each respective chapter lists relevant, recent articles and reviews. Each chapter ends with a concise summary of the salient points featured in the text that is presented in bullet form. The first 7 chapters deal with clinical evaluation and imaging strategies in the management of vascular disease. These chapters, especially those concerning management of chronic limb ischemia, intermittent claudication, and acute limb ischemia are especially well written. The data presented appear contemporary and the tables well organized and easy to navigate. Chapters 8 through 17 concentrate on specific arterial diseases, ranging from vasospastic disorders to Buerger’s disease. The writing is detailed and satisfyingly esoteric for a book of this type, intended mainly for quick reference. The authors have managed to seamlessly blend the diagnosis and medical management of these diseases and the principles of therapy, both surgical and endovascular. The angiographic examples have been carefully selected and are emblematic of commonly seen problems in the interventional vascular suite. However, a vascular pedant may argue that the true worth of a vascular medicine text lies in its treatment of venous and lymphatic disorders. This text certainly does not fail in this regard. Chapters 18 through 25 provide the vascular dilettante with a thorough grounding in the diagnosis and management of these disorders. The chapters dealing with the diagnostic approach to venous disease and the management of varicose veins merit special mention for their clarity and excellent organization. The accompanying graphic figures and photographs have again been meticulously culled to form a visual continuum that nicely complements the text. A substantial yet concise review of inflammatory vasculitis is provided in Chapter 24. Specific disorders such as leukocytoclastic vasculitis, polyarteritis nodosum, Wegener’s granulomatosis, and Churg-Strauss syndrome are succinctly profiled, along with their representative angiographic manifestations. Because photomicrographs are now a standard part of the vascular medicine board examinations, these reviewers wish that images of biopsy specimens were also provided. The editors would do well to think about including color photographs and photomicrographs of the major vasculitic disorders in the next edition of this book so that their pathognomonic features, both clinical and cellular, can be definitively and easily identified. In this first edition, the principal vasculitides are tabulated and written descriptions of the micrographic findings are provided. This is clearly an area that can do with some improvement. In summary, the Manual of Vascular Diseases is an excellent, detailed review of vascular medicine that in a little more than 400 easily readable pages highlights the major disease entities that comprise this vast discipline. It is sure to be a low-key hit with residents and trainees in internal medicine and cardiology, as well as among other healthcare providers wishing to expand their knowledge of vascular disease. In this convenient pocket form, the book is sure to gain a large following. It will certainly be a welcome and well read adjunct in preparation for the vascular medicine boards. The editors and contributing authors are to be congratulated for compiling such a compelling review of a very broad and still slightly cryptic subject that can so easily fit in one’s laboratory coat or briefcase.

This may require reconstruction with alternate kernels and adjustment of window levels. There are only limited data comparing CT to other modalities for evaluating peripheral stents, 110 but there are emerging data for other circulatory beds that are similar or even smaller than lower-extremity vessels. For instance, a recent prospective study assessed renal in-stent restenosis in 86 patients (95 stents). 111 CTA had a negative predictive value of 100, specificity of 99, and positive predictive value of 90. For renal artery in-stent restenosis, computed tomographic angiography was reported to have a specificity of 95 and positive predictive value of 56. In the coronary circulation, sensitivity and specificity using 64-slice systems exceed 90. 112 In practice, these rates may be lower owing to significant publication bias in these reports. Computed tomographic angiography is used to evaluate patients who have aortoiliac, aortofemoral, or axillofemoral bypass grafts. 113 Surveillance of grafts is important and is primarily performed by duplex ultrasound evaluation. Recent studies, however, suggest that CTA may be superior to duplex ultrasound evaluation. 114 Attention must be paid to the cumulative radiation dose and the use of contrast agents. Assessment of the graft should include careful evaluation of the proximal anastomotic area to exclude stenosis or aneurysm, the body of the graft, and the touch-down site of the graft. View chapter Purchase book Read full chapter URL: Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Jose I. Suarez, Eric M. Bershad, in Stroke (Sixth Edition), 2016 CT Angiography CT angiography (CTA) is emerging as an alternative diagnostic test for SAH; however, the diagnostic accuracy may be less than that of standard angiography. 68 The accuracy of CTA for detecting aneurysms varies widely in different studies. The sensitivity and specificity of CTA in comparison with those for DSA range from 77 to 100, and 87 to 100, respectively (see Fig. 29-1B ). 69 Advantages of CTA include a quick procedural time, excellent anatomic rendering, and a low risk of complications. CTA reconstructed in 3D provides anatomically accurate relationships between the vascular structures and bone, which may be useful for surgical planning. CTA poses less risk for iatrogenic complications than DSA because contrast agent is given intravenously for CTA. Some important limitations of CTA include a lower sensitivity for smaller aneurysms ( View chapter Purchase book Read full chapter URL: Severe Headache and Diagnosis of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in the Emergency Department Karen Greenberg. Erol Veznedaroglu, in Intracranial Aneurysms, 2018 7.9 Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) The CTA is an emerging technology available to emergency medicine providers that has the diagnostic advantage of being noninvasive. The diagnostic accuracy of CTA varies with sensitivity ranging from 77 to 100 and specificity ranging from 87 to 100. The CTA sensitivity decreases with aneurysms Fig. 7.4 shows the appearance of aneurysm on CTA. If an aneurysm is identified by CTA, an LP may still need to be performed to identify the presence or absence of SAH. Current American Heart Association guidelines recommend that CTA can be used as part of the workup for identifying aneurysms, but not as the primary diagnostic tool ( Aisiku et al., 2014 ). Fig. 7.4.

Jungreis, Steven Goldstein, in Stroke (Fourth Edition), 2004 Intracranial Disease CTA has been used with growing frequency in the detection of intracranial aneurysms ( Fig. 18-5 ) and intracranial stenosis ( Fig. 18-6 ). One of the most exciting applications of intracranial CTA is in the rapid triage of patients with acute stroke due to intracranial stenosis. A total of 572 vessels in the circle of Willis were visually evaluated with these techniques, and angiographic correlation was available for 224 of the vessels. Sensitivity and specificity for CTA were both 98, and accuracy as calculated by receiver operating characteristic analysis was 99. Mean time for CTA reconstruction was 15 minutes. CTA represents an ideal tool for the rapid and accurate detection of intracranial stenosis of the major vessels of the circle of Willis. View chapter Purchase book Read full chapter URL: Critical Care Neurology Part I M. McDermott,. L. Morgenstern, in Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2017 CT and MR angiography CT angiography (CTA) uses a standard CT scanner to obtain contrasted images of the extracranial and intracranial vasculature. In acute ischemic stroke care, CTA is used primarily for the rapid identification of large-artery occlusion. The importance of this imaging modality is underscored by its use in the five recent trials of mechanical thrombectomy ( Berkhemer et al., 2015; Campbell et al., 2015; Goyal et al., 2015; Jovin et al., 2015; Saver et al., 2015 ). Critically, the acquisition of vascular imaging should not delay the administration of IV tPA for appropriate thrombolysis candidates. Compared to CTA, MRA is less frequently used in the acute setting given the significantly longer time for image acquisition.
