Klappentext

Vascular Surgery is an essential aid for those who need a practical understanding of the procedure when preparing for surgery examinations.

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.
