Main description:

The book covers all aspects of vascular malformations including classification, embryology, genetics, clinical approach, investigations, management, controversies and key points to remember. Chapters cover recent changes in detail in various aspects, such as classification, genetic decoding, minimal intervention, selective approach and investigations for different types. It offers clear guidance on diagnostic protocol and surgical decision making with changing scenario leading to evolving endovascular and radiological interventions.

The book is useful for vascular surgeon, pediatric surgeon, general surgeon, plastic surgeon and intervention radiologist as well as clinical research scholars, surgical oncologists and radiologists.
