Understanding and Treatment of Aneurismal Disease: A Comprehensive Guide

Our understanding of aneurismal disease has undergone significant transformations since the first description of an aneurysm by Vesalius in the 16th century. Today, it is well-established that an aortic aneurysm, regardless of its extent, serves as a strong marker for concomitant vascular diseases, necessitating further diagnostic steps and a dedicated therapy to reduce the risk of rupture and non-aneurysm related death.

Over the past 60 years, considerable efforts have been made to determine the most effective therapeutic options and reduce the risks associated with various operative strategies. This includes preoperative diagnostic steps, perioperative optimization of medical treatment, and the choice of the most suitable operative approach, which may involve either open surgery (OAR) or endovascular repair (EVAR/FEVAR).

A Team Challenge: The Rasmussen Learning Model

The treatment of aneurysms is a complex process that requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving a team of healthcare professionals who must work together to achieve the best possible outcomes. The Rasmussen learning model, which comprises identification, analysis, planning, decision-making, performance, feedback, problem analysis, and solution, is essential for effective aneurysm treatment.

A Practical Guide to Aneurysm Treatment

This comprehensive textbook presents the different options and pitfalls of aneurysm treatment, drawing on the latest guidelines and recommendations from recently published scientific papers, studies, and multicentric studies. By providing a practical, rather than purely scientific, approach to aneurysm treatment, this book aims to inform and educate healthcare professionals on the best practices for managing aneurysmal disease.
