Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery is an essential aid for candidates sitting surgery
examinations who need a practical understanding of vascular surgery.
Edited by prominent vascular surgeons in the USA and UK, the book
tackles the epidemiology and etiology of atherosclerosis and how to
evaluate patients with vascular disease. Specific vascular diseases
are then covered and their treatment options discussed. Vascular
Surgery adopts a transatlantic approach so that chapters are written
either by a practitioner in the USA or UK, and each chapter is
critically appraised by a colleague who provides a potentially
alternative perspective.

This book is recommended to be read by trainees in general and
vascular surgery and those who have already qualified but might need
further knowledge of this important field.
