Thoracic and abdominal aortic disease: new PCR Textbook chapter

The PCR Texbook chapter on thoracic and abdominal aortic disease

This newly published chapter by Dr. Nana, Dr. Aru, and Prof. Haulon delivers an up-to-date, comprehensive review of non-atherosclerotic aortic pathologies, including thoracic and abdominal aneurysms, dissections, and traumatic aortic injuries.

The authors explore critical clinical decision-making—balancing best medical therapy, open surgery, and endovascular repair based on anatomic morphology and preoperative patient profiles—while explicitly highlighting current gaps in evidence

Whether you are evaluating size criteria for asymptomatic patients or assessing complex anatomical structures, this chapter offers vital insights to guide practice across the field. 

This individual chapter is now available for separate purchase!
