There has been a dramatic increase over the last five years in the number of people undergoing vascular surgery, ranging from major surgery on the large arteries to the treatment of varicose veins.
This growth has been reflected in a glut of texts on vascular surgery, both from North America and Europe. However, these deal mainly with elective surgery and neglect emergencies whether they be caused by trauma or, more commonly, by post-operative complications. When emergencies arise they often have to be dealt with by general, rather than vascular, surgeons.
This volume provides the first detailed exposition of the primary and secondary care of emergency surgery to the arteries and veins. As such, it will be of interest to both the specialist and the general surgeon.

Review

Of interest to trauma as well as vascular surgeons
The British Journal of Surgery

[A] gift to the vascular world...fills the void which was all along felt in the past in respect of emergency vascular practice. For the first time in this century, a book has been compiled bringing all vascular emergency situations in a single volume. A true companion and guide...it is indeed a practical manual. Thanks to the publishers for this excellent book.
