Description
This study describes non-operative but interventional procedures in vascular surgery. Taking a conservative-management approach, this edition provides detailed coverage of the range of topics pertaining to the comprehensive and ongoing care of patients with vascular insufficiency. It includes: chapters devoted to the control of risk factors and medical management; detailed coverage of diagnosis and management techniques such as sonography, MRI and CT, angioscopy, angioplasty (including laser) and minimally invasive intravascular grafting; and features a comprehensive chapter on the care of the dyvascular foot, including orthotics and shoe modifications.
