    Vascular diseases have high incidence, disability and mortality rates. Endovascular treatment is an important option as an alternative to open surgery, with the proven ability to counter severe pathologies. China-based research into vascular diseases and endovascular surgery has been proceeding apace. Endovascology presents, for the first time, the latest research, clinical outcomes, and research frontiers from one of the leading institutes in China specializing in endovascular surgery — the Vascular Surgery Department of Changhai Hospital. Specifically, in this book, chapters cover each aspect of vascular disease: Vascular heart disease; Congenital heart disease; Arteriosclerotic heart disease; Thoracic aortic pathology; Thoracoabdominal aortic pathology; Infrarenal abdominal aortic pathology; Cerebral perfusion arteries; Upper limb vessels; Abdominal visceral arteries; Iliac artery; Lower limb artery; Varicose veins; Deep venous thrombosis of the lower limb; Pelvic congestion syndrome; Inferior vena cava and portal vein; Pulmonary artery; and Lymphatic diseases. Endovascology: Endovascular Treatment of Vascular Systematic Pathologies presents a global medical audience with an ambitious, systematic and exhaustive review of vascular diseases, and the state-of-the art in clinical research and practice in endovascology.

    Biopolymers for 3D Tissue Engineering: Processing and Applications explores the critical role of biopolymers in advancing tissue engineering and 3D cell culture—key technologies in drug discovery, personalized medicine, and disease treatment. Scaffolds form the foundation of these applications, yet current options—primarily synthetic polymers like polypropylene, polyethylene, or polystyrene, and some natural materials such as collagen and silk fibroin—are often expensive and lack optimal properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical stability. This book addresses the global effort to develop next-generation scaffolds that overcome these limitations. Biopolymers offer a compelling solution, with inherent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and sustainability. They are abundant, cost-effective, and derived from renewable sources, making them ideal for medical applications. However, their processing poses significant challenges, as many biopolymers resist dissolution in common solvents and lack thermoplastic behavior. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the structure, properties, and processability of biopolymers, with a focus on innovative techniques for converting them into functional scaffolds suitable for 3D cell culture. Unlike existing literature that emphasizes biomaterial properties or applications, this is the first book to focus exclusively on biopolymers for tissue engineering. It covers carbohydrates, proteins, and synthetic biopolymers in a single, authoritative source, making it invaluable for students, researchers, professionals, and industry stakeholders. By bridging the gap between material science and biomedical application, Biopolymers for 3D Tissue Engineering offers both a scientific foundation and practical insights to accelerate the development of sustainable, high-performance scaffolds for next-generation healthcare solutions.
