Vascular Surgery: Cases Questions and Commentaries

This updated and revised second edition of "Vascular Surgery: Cases,
Questions and Commentaries" provides a thorough overview of the
management principles of clinical cases in vascular surgery. It also
summarizes all the relevant topics the vascular trainee is expected
to be familiar with.

With an international panel of contributors, this book familiarizes
the reader quickly with day-to-day clinical practice. Case
presentations are presented in question and answer format and have
been widely referenced to reassure the reader that the contents are
established best practice. Most cases are accompanied by 3? x-rays
or color illustrations for visual clarity.

This book serves as a teaching resource for vascular trainees or
practitioners who are reviewing for the oral board exam or
practitioners who wish to refresh their expertise with an interactive
source of information. It also provides established practitioners the
wherewithal to review the current standards of practice in vascular
surgery.
