In the last five years, there have been published novelties related to the management (e.g., diagnosis, drug treatment, minimally invasive interventional or surgical treatment) of renal vascular diseases or their consequences (e.g., arterial hypertension). In this volume we have added a chapter on the usefulness of knowledge of anatomy and anatomical variants in endovascular therapies or renal transplantation. We also presented an updated approach on paraclinical diagnostic techniques of the various renal vessels pathologies.This book offers current protocols for treating renal artery or vein thrombosis, using (or not) combinations of the new antithrombotics.As new data emerged concerning percutaneous interventions for renal artery stenosis, we comprehensively analyze published clinical trials to highlight the role of transcatheter renal artery stenting in contemporary cohorts of patients.Given the recent news regarding theupdated techniques and the evidence supporting the indications of renal denervation in resistant hypertension, this volume dedicates three chapters to the new devices, indications from 2023, and extra-hypertensive uses of RDN.

This book offers a unique and comprehensive guide to the rapidly evolving field of cardiac surgery, emphasizing the shift from traditional open-heart techniques to minimally invasive and hybrid procedures. It is designed for cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, residents and trainees who seek an in-depth understanding of both classical surgical methods and cutting-edge innovations in the treatment of structural heart diseases. The book fills an important gap by addressing not only the technical aspects of cardiac interventions but also the emerging trends in technology, such as robotic surgery, artificial intelligence and the use of advanced biomaterials. By integrating these advancements with established procedures, it offers a forward-looking perspective on how modern tools and techniques are shaping the future of cardiac surgery.Surgical, Hybrid and Minimally Invasive Structural Cardiac Interventions provides a particular focus on hybrid cardiac interventions, which combine the strengths of both surgical and catheter-based procedures. It covers a wide range of topics, from coronary artery bypass grafting and valve repair to the use of AI in personalized medicine and the development of new materials for cardiac prostheses.

Renal Dysfunction in Cardiovascular Pathologies: Implications for Management book explores the complex interplay between renal and cardiovascular systems, providing a comprehensive resource for clinicians and researchers. Cardio-renal syndromes are increasingly recognized as a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet their pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment remain challenging. This book aims to bridge these knowledge gaps with a structured, multidisciplinary approach that integrates nephrology, cardiology, internal medicine, and vascular medicine.The text is organized into chapters covering key topics such as epidemiology, advanced imaging modalities, therapeutic interventions, and emerging technologies. Readers will gain valuable insights into the latest research, clinical guidelines, and practical strategies for managing patients with overlapping cardiac and renal conditions. Unique features include detailed discussions on SGLT2 inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and advanced diagnostic tools like hybrid imaging, offering practical value for clinicians.Designed for a diverse audience, the book is an essential resource for practitioners, researchers, and students in nephrology, cardiology, and internal medicine. It provides not only the foundational understanding of cardio-renal interactions but also practical tools and clinical applications to enhance patient care. This volume fills a critical gap by addressing both established and emerging aspects of cardio-renal syndromes. The integration of cutting-edge research with real-world clinical insights ensures that the content is both current and actionable. By bringing together experts from multiple disciplines, this book serves as a definitive guide to the management of renal dysfunction in cardiovascular pathologies, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes and advancing the field of cardio-renal medicine.
