This second edition of a very successful vascular surgery text wasdeveloped in order to address significant changes that haveoccurred in contemporary vascular surgery and to highlight newinformation that has developed regarding vascular imaging,interventional and endovascular procedures. The overall length ofthe text is slightly shorter than the first edition with relevantcore chapters being retained to emphasize the basic science natureof the text, with approximately 60% of the material undergoingmajor revisions or being new chapters. The significant change from the first text is an emphasis onvascular pathology and physiology that is relevant to currentpractice including information that is currently included on thevascular board examinations. A new emphasis on endovasculartherapies has been added by including five chapters on endovasculartechniques and an additional section with six chapters comparingconventional vascular reconstruction to endovascular methods. Thesenew chapters address the most important issue in contemporaryvascular surgery, i.e., the role of endovascular methods intreating vascular lesions and the impact that this has on trainingand credentialing. A unique aspect of this book differentiating itfrom other texts is a comparison of conventional methods with theendovascular techniques. Overall the text provides a comprehensive perspective ofcontemporary vascular surgery and future perspectives. The authorsare preeminent in the field and are most capable for addressing theassigned topics with the goals being to provide an updated andforward looking text that accommodates the needs of practicing andtraining vascular surgeons.
