Mechanisms of Vascular Disease:A Textbook for Vascular Surgeons

This textbook provides an up-to-date account of the mechanisms and
pathophysiology of vascular disease, and the current treatment
options open to vascular surgeons. As the scientific basis of
vascular disease advances rapidly, it is critical that clinicians
have access to relevant information written specifically for vascular
surgeons. This account reviews the impact of these scientific
advances on established and emerging treatment options. Experts from
Australia, North America and Europe have contributed to basic topics
such as atherosclerosis, restenosis, thrombosis and hemostasis,
ischaemia-reperfusion injury, sepsis, vascular hemodynamics and wound
healing. More applied topics such as pain syndromes in vascular
surgery and the diabetic foot are also covered in this textbook. This
will be a core text for all vascular surgical trainees and is
especially appropriate for advanced trainees and consultants wishing
to refresh their knowledge base
