Vascular Disease: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches

Patients with vascular disease offer great challenges to physicians of multiple backgrounds. The rapid improvement in multimodal imaging and the growth of endovascular strategies for treatment of peripheral vascular disease have resulted in an explosion in interest in these patients. But patients and physicians often misdiagnose vascular disease as normal signs of aging, resulting in presentation to specialists at the end stage of the disease process. This textbook, edited by two recognized experts in the field, is designed to offer unique and comprehensive information on the diagnostic approach to and state-of-the-art treatment of arterial and venous diseases. This multispecialty textbook will be a critical addition to the practicing clinician's library.
