Atlas of Vascular Disease (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2003)

The second edition of the Atlas of Vascular Disease reviews a number of important vascular disorders that are encountered in clinical practice, including aortic aneurysms and dissection, peripheral arterial occlusive disease and lymphedema. Recent, rapid advancements in vascular biology and technology have led to a new understanding of the human vasculature, which this book beautifully illustrates. The enhanced resolution of ultrasonography and less invasive therapeutic strategies are just two of the many additions this book covers in its comprehensive review of vascular disease. The 19 contributors, including Editor Dr. Mark A. Creager and Series Editor Dr. Eugene Braunwald, bestow their research and expertise upon readers in the book's 13 chapters. Readers are presented with full-color images depicting surgical techniques, X-rays and first-hand photographs relating to vascular disease and its counterparts.
