In today’s healthcare environment, the real driver is value. Maximizing outcomes and minimizing costs or providing similar outcomes with lower cost in terms of actual numbers or recovery time will dominate our healthcare delivery system. An excellent example of this evolution is in the field of cardiovascular intervention. Dr. Jacques Kpodonu’s Manual of Thoracic Endo-Aortic Surgery is a most timely and descriptive work in this burgeoning field. It provides an excellent overview of current technology and techniques, plus the endovascular expert can drill down into the details of the devices and technologies described and significantly enhance their knowledge and perspective. Procedural detail, excellent graphics, pertinent imaging studies, and relevant instruction are the mainstays of this text.
The first chapter comprises the key overview and very comprehensively covers the platform – the hybrid OR, the tools, the accessories, and the medium – superb, state-of-the-art imaging modalities required to perform these advanced procedures. The text then moves into more technical details including options and instruction regarding access approaches and potential pitfalls of such. This is followed in ensuing chapters by dissemination of precise information, techniques, and indications for the most popular and utilized grafts including Boston Relay Stent Graft, Cook TX2 Zenith Stent Grafts, as well as the Gore and Medtronic Aortic Stent Grafts.
Transitioning from the devices themselves, the ensuing chapters cover challenging clinical problems such as dissections, traumatic aorta injury, and hybrid debranching techniques as well as a chapter on fenestrated and branched graft technology for thoracoabdominal aortic pathology expertly written by an expert in the field Dr. Roselli. Points are well illustrated with case examples. A most essential final clinical chapter covers the identification, treatment, and avoidance of complications. The text is completed with a look into future technologies.
The Manual of Thoracic Endo-Aortic Surgery is well organized, flows efficiently, and is well written. It reflects the significant clinical experience of Dr. Kpodonu and embodies his commitment to teaching and education. It is important for any clinician in the field of cardiovascular care to be aware of the therapeutic options and imaging modalities covered in this text. Furthermore, the endo-aortic specialist will benefit most significantly by the technical details elucidated in this publication. This entire field is rapidly evolving and represents a major advance in medical therapy. Knowledge of current therapeutic options and clinical expertise in delivering these options are essential. This text provides an important element in the foundation for that process.
