This textbook provides an up-to-date account of the mechanisms and pathophysiology of vascular disease, and the current treatment options open to vascular surgeons. As the scientific basis of vascular disease advances rapidly, it is critical that clinicians have access to relevant information written specifically for vascular surgeons. This account reviews the impact of these scientific advances on established and emerging treatment options. Experts from Australia, North America and Europe have contributed to basic topics such as atherosclerosis, restenosis, thrombosis and haemostasis, ischaemia-reperfusion injury, sepsis, vascular haemodynamics and wound healing. More applied topics such as pain syndromes in vascular surgery and the diabetic foot are also covered in this textbook. This will be a core text for all vascular surgical trainees and is especially appropriate for advanced trainees and consultants wishing to refresh their knowledge base.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This comprehensive, evidence-based account of the current mechanisms and pathogenesis of many common clinical entities resulting in vascular diseases details the established and novel interventions available to treat these conditions. A worldwide group of expert contributors, under the editorship of two eminent vascular surgeons, Robert Fitridge and Matthew Thompson, create a detailed, well-written, informative book....Although targeted at vascular surgeons and vascular trainees, this book will be of interest to a wider group of clinicians managing patients with vascular disease, including interventional radiologists. This is a must for all vascular trainees and all clinicians involved in the management of and research into vascular disease....This is a comprehensive, up-to-date resource detailing the current hypotheses of vascular disease development and outlining strategies to clinically manage the most common vascular conditions."
