Main description:

The field of vascular surgery has been progressing and developing. The training for vascular surgery has progressed to now encompassing 0+5 residency along with 5+2 fellowship, which will then produce more vascular surgeons, as the need for them continues to be in demand. In the process of progressing through two years or five years of training a comprehensive review book is essential for trainees in preparation for boards as well as everyday practice. This textbook will serve as an extremely useful resource primarily for residents and fellows but also for anyone involved with managing vascular surgery disease. It will be a useful tool in preparation for any vascular examination including the VSITE and vascular boards. It will provide a concise and comprehensive summary of vascular surgery disease and serve as an initial platform for further expanding their knowledge of vascular disease processes. All chapters are written by experts in the field and will include the most up to date scientific and clinical information.
