Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 5/e - Print and E-book

Vascular & Endovascular Surgery meets the needs of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants for a
contemporary and evidence-based account of this sub-specialty that is relevant to their general surgical practice. It
is a practical reference source incorporating the most current information on recent developments, management issues
and operative procedures. The text is thoroughly referenced and supported by evidence-based recommendations wherever
possible, distinguishing between strong evidence to support a conclusion, and evidence suggesting that a recommendation
can be reached on the balance of probabilities.


This is a title in the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series whose eight volumes are an established and
highly regarded source of information for the specialist general surgeon.



New to This Edition
An expanded authorship team across the series includes additional European and World experts with an increased emphasis
on global practice.

The contents of the series have been extensively revised in line with recently published evidence.

The revision of the content reflects the continued move towards non-invasive imaging, medical therapy and endovascular
techniques, culminating in a new chapter on Future Developments.

Many of the chapters reflect the collaborative nature of a modern vascular service and are co-authored by a vascular
surgeon and a vascular radiologist.


The authorship team has been expanded with input from vascular nursing and rehabilitation experts.
