It begins with chapters on the embryology, anatomy, genetics, and physiology of the aorta along with imaging studies used to visualize its structure. The bulk of the book focuses on acute and chronic disorders such as coarctation of the aorta, inflammatory and connective tissue disorders, acute aortic thrombosis, infections, tumors, related ocular diseases, and various aneurysms and fistulas. In addition, it explores aortic disease in pregnancy, fetal aortic disorders, and aortic trauma in children. The book highlights the epidemiology and natural history as well as medical, endovascular, and surgical treatments for each disease. It also discusses valve repair, 3D printing applications, and the role of multidisciplinary aortic centers. Diseases of the Aorta is an indispensable and authoritative resource for cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, radiologists, and vascular medicine specialists.
Reviews
I wish I’d found this at the start of my intern year. It offers more context, obstetrics focus, and more up to date information than the red book, with more thorough explanations of how to do things basic things like perineal laceration repairs, OB ultrasound, and cervical exams. It is full of things like this that are essential to functioning on L&D but are glossed over in textbooks and may or may not be taught to you by busy residents and attendings during your initial OB rotations. As you might expect from the title, it contains no gyn surgery stuff.
