Vascular surgery has seen a remarkable evolution. A discipline focused on the natural history and treatment of vascular disease by open operation is now primarily a minimally invasive specialty. Mastery of the basic pathophysiology has been retained while the transformation by improved imaging and endovascular intervention has been integrated into practice. This fourth edition of Vascular Surgery: Principles and Practice has incorporated these advances building on the specialty’s past assets. Knowledge of natural history and open surgery will always have an essential role in optimal care of patients with vascular diseases. The authors’ exposition of the old and the new will make this edition a valuable resource for vascular surgeons and all others dedicated to the care of vascular patients.
Like the first edition, this new edition of A History of Vascular Surgery paints engaging portraits of the surgeons and scientists whose ideas and practices underlie, and continue to influence, vascular surgery as we know it today.
With an international panel of contributors, many of whom are also examiners on the UK, European or American Boards of Vascular Surgery, this book familiarizes the reader quickly with day-to-day clinical practice.

This is a must-read for any specialist at all levels who has an on-going commitment to vascular disease management and medical education.
This volume provides a concise and up to date resource that directly addresses the needs of general surgeons who perform vascular surgery by focusing on the diagnosis and clinical management of common vascular conditions.
Undoubtedly of interest to other physicians and surgeons, this book will also appeal to anyone seeking an insider’s perspective on surgery, medical issues, and how political pressures impact the practice of medicine.
At the same time many senior surgeons have somewhat limited experience of endovascular techniques. This book will assist junior and senior surgeons and trainees in performing all types of vascular reconstructions.
It is in this set ting that this volume offered by Professor Staudacher may be of assistance to the general surgeon whose experience in this type of emergency may be limited.
This book represents an up-to-date overview of reconstructive lymphovascular surgery, with coverage of all aspects from the bench to the bedside.
