Publisher's Synopsis
Vascular surgery and endovascular surgery are both modalities to treat vascular disease. Endovascular describes a minimally invasive approach commonly done through needle puncture and a sheath. Traditional vascular surgery is more invasive and involves incisions, which is more surgical in nature.
This book provides vascular surgeons and trainees with the latest advances and techniques in vascular and endovascular surgery.
Divided into seventeen sections the book covers procedures for numerous vascular disorders including lower limb ischemia, vascular graft infection, cancer-associated thrombosis, vascular leg ulcers, varicose veins and many more.
Separate chapters discuss anaesthesia and ethical choices in vascular surgery.
The comprehensive text is further enhanced by more than 200 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables to assist learning.
