Vascular Surgery Basic Science and Clinical Correlations 2/e

This second edition of a very successful vascular surgery text was
developed in order to address significant changes that have occurred
in contemporary vascular surgery and to highlight new information
that has developed regarding vascular imaging, interventional and
endovascular procedures. The overall length of the text is slightly
shorter than the first edition with relevant core chapters being
retained to emphasize the basic science nature of the text, with
approximately 60% of the material undergoing major revisions or being
new chapters.

The significant change from the first text is an emphasis on vascular
pathology and physiology that is relevant to current practice
including information that is currently included on the vascular
board examinations. A new emphasis on endovascular therapies has been
added by including five chapters on endovascular techniques and an
additional section with six chapters comparing conventional vascular
reconstruction to endovascular methods. These new chapters address
the most important issue in contemporary vascular surgery, i.e., the
role of endovascular methods in treating vascular lesions and the
impact that this has on training and credentialing. A unique aspect
of this book differentiating it from other texts is a comparison of
conventional methods with the endovascular techniques.

Overall the text provides a comprehensive perspective of contemporary
vascular surgery and future perspectives. The authors are preeminent
in the field and are most capable for addressing the assigned topics
with the goals being to provide an updated and forward looking text
that accommodates the needs of practicing and training vascular
surgeons.
