Part of the book series: Surgery: Complications, Risks and Consequences ((SCRC))

Abstract

Vascular procedures span an increasingly wide spectrum of surgical operations and are gradually being modified by percutaneous radiologically guided interventional methods in numerous areas. These minimally invasive approaches may be associated with a lesser risk of complications than the corresponding open approaches; however, sufficient follow-up is required to confirm this premise. Such developments pave the way for application of vascular procedures in more elderly and frailer patients with higher comorbidities and perhaps for what was considered more marginal indications in some open surgery settings, with relative benefits and risks. This chapter brings together a range of vascular surgical procedures with the aim of providing information on complications, risks, and consequences of those procedures. For information on associated procedures refer to the relevant chapter or volume.
