Complications of Cardiovascular Procedures provides interventional cardiologists, endovascular interventionalists, and physicians in training with a comprehensive resource on the prevention and management of complications in interventional cardiology. The book focuses specifically on risk factors, prevention, and management with conventional and/or with bailout techniques and devices. It includes many images of common and rare complications and of devices. The first section, on general principles, includes quality assurance, training requirements, legal considerations, adjunctive pharmacotherapy, and conscious sedation. Subsequent sections cover general complications of invasive procedures and complications of specific coronary interventions, noncoronary cardiac interventions, peripheral vascular procedures, pediatric interventions, and electrophysiology procedures. A companion website includes videos of over 30 complications and bailout techniques.

It is the practical experience gained in the operating room and onthe wards dealing with complications and deviations from thetypical or average scenario that matures and fully develops asurgeon. The typical textbook demonstrates the “right”or standard way to do things and the implicit assumption is that ifthese guidelines are followed then the patient and the surgeon'slife will be complication free. Good results come from experienceand experience is gained by making mistakes. The goal of this bookis to minimize the frequency of surgical complications and maximizethe outcome when they do occur by allowing the reader to learn fromthe operative and clinical experience of those who have gone beforeso that each generation can collectively stand on the shoulders ofthe preceding generation without the need to learn from one's owncomplications. This book is therefore designed less to address indications foroperations than how to carry them out and provide postoperativecare without complications. While the authors of the variouschapters address the correct or right way to perform operations andcare for patients after surgery, they have also been tasked toaddress and emphasize specific dos and don'ts for bothintraoperative techniques and postoperative care that will reducethe incidence of complications. As some complications, alas, areinevitable, also addressed are the issues of timely recognition andappropriate treatment of complications when they do occur despitebest efforts.

Historian Daniel J. Boorstin has said, "Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers." This reissue of Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery, endorsed by today's experts and with a new preface by Denton A. Cooley, M.D., Surgeon-in-Chief, Texas Heart Institute, is especially timely in this era of transition to interventional and hybrid procedures. No matter what the technical advances are, the same principles that facilitate successful outcomes in surgery (teamwork, communication, vigilance, simplicity and standardization of techniques, anticipation of the next step) will apply equally to today's hybrid procedures and to those who perform them. A best-seller in its field when first issued, Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery has since become a resource for the Cardiothoracic Surgery Network's safety reporting system (www.CTSNet.org) and has become the template used by CTSNet as a teaching tool for the anonymous reporting of near-disasters in the field by cardiac surgeons from around the world. Written in the second person present tense so that the reader becomes the surgeon on the spot, this reissue of Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery, although it reads like a medical thriller, is really a textbook of cardiac surgical complications, their management, and prevention. With its cogent analyses, discussions, and pertinent references, Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery will introduce a new generation of cardiac surgical residents and fellows, as well as more experienced surgeons, cardiologists, interventionalists, anesthesiologists, medical students, and nurses, to principles that are as timeless as they are essential.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a screening tool called the Listing of Impairments to identify claimants who are so severely impaired that they cannot work at all and thus immediately qualify for benefits. In this report, the IOM makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity to determine disability benefits more quickly and efficiently using the Listings.
