Vascular problems include such common disorders as thrombosis, leg ulcers, Raynaud's syndrome, haemorrhage and lymphoedema. Until recently, the only treatment for many of these disorders was surgery. Now an increasing number of medical therapies have become available which are administered by a new generation of vascular physicians and angiologists. This book presents a comprehensive overview of this subject with emphasis on diagnosis and management, based on an up-to-date understanding of vascular structure and function.
