Epidemiology of Aortic Aneurysmal Disease 3. Screening for Aortic Aneurysmal Disease 4. The Pathophysiology of Aortic Dissection 5. Carotid Screening before Aortic Surgery 6. Cardiac Screening before Aortic Surgery 7. Diagnostic Imaging Techniques before Aortic Surgery This is one of a new series of medical handbooks. It includes subjects generally not covered in other handbook series, especially many technology-driven topics that reflect the increasing influence of technology in clinical medicine. The name chosen for this comprehensive medical handbook series is Vademecum, a Latin word that roughly means “to carry along”. In the Middle Ages, traveling clerics carried pocket-sized books, excerpts of the carefully transcribed canons, known as Vademecum. In the 19th century a medical publisher in Germany, Samuel Karger, called a series of portable medical books Vademecum. The Vademecum books are intended to be used both in the training of physicians and the care of patients, by medical students, medical house staff and practicing physicians. We hope you will find them a valuable resource. AorticSurgery ademecumV Ballard Aortic Surgery I SBN 1- 57059- 628- X 8. Surgical Exposure for Aortic Surgery 9.
