Update on occupational radiation exposure including non cancer health effects and ways to reduce exposure.

In this video you will learn to create an AV fistula in the area of the elbow:
from skin incision to vessel preparation, anastomosis and wound closure.

This is a recorded case, which demonstrates step by step all relevant technical aspects of a carotid artery endarterectomy with Dacron patchplasty.

This is a step by step video of the open surgical of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a tube Dacron graft through a median laparotomy. In this video, you will learn the surgical exposure of the aneurysm, the clamping and opening of the aneurysm sac, how to deal with the lumbar arteries, the proximal and distal anastomosis and how to close the abdomen by the right way.

This is a recorded case of the new Altura stent graft (Lombard). The device has kept well-known features of previous EVAR devices such as active suprarenal fixation, a fabric graft, and a robust nitinol stent. The flexibility produced by the division of the main body has the potential to significantly improve many issues of EVAR performance.

Dr. Martin Björck (Uppsala University, Sweden) summarizes in this presentation all important clinical and therapeutic aspects of abdominal compartment syndrome after EVAR for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Moreover, the author discusses the clinical consequences of ACS and provides important recommendations about monitoring techniques and treatment.
