PY - 2009 T2 - Peripheral Arterial Disease AB - This chapter is intended to provide a clinically oriented discussion of proximal aortic disease emphasizing not only the more common problems seen in clinical practice such as ascending aneurysms and dissection but also to serve as an initial reference for many less common conditions that are generally encountered only occasionally or in specialized circumstances. A discussion of congenital aortic disease is included since an ever-increasing number of patients are now surviving into adulthood and will be encountered by vascular specialists.
