Synopsis
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.

Description: This book is part of a series of surgical texts that gives a brief overview of the basic principles and clinical management of commonly encountered disease processes:in this case, in the field of vascular surgery.
Purpose: The purpose is to serve as a practical overview for directing the management of vascular patients. The objective is not to be a comprehensive, exhaustive resource for the treatment of vascular disease, but rather to be a much more manageable way of addressing the issues physicians face when treating patients with vascular diseases. The authors have successfully accomplished these objectives.
Audience: According to the editors, this book is intended for surgical residents or those who have recently graduated from vascular surgery training programs. This seems to be an appropriately targeted audience, in addition to physicians preparing for certification examinations. The editors have certainly gathered a knowledgeable group of contributing authors.
Features: This book covers a broad range of topics encountered in the field of vascular surgery including medical management, diagnostic workup, perioperative and operative approaches, and emerging concepts. The uniqueness of this book lies in its international perspective:drawing upon the expertise of vascular surgeons from both the United States and Great Britain. While illustrations are lacking in some chapters, the organization of each chapter aids in the understanding of the material.
Assessment: This is a useful book for recently graduated trainees preparing for examinations in vascular surgery and for those who learn best by visualizing the "big picture," or understanding general concepts, rather than being inundated by an overwhelming amount of statistics and trivial minutia.
