This is a very useful handbook for trainees to take with them whenever they are taking care of a vascular patient. The short paragraphs and bulleted lists make each section a fast read. Procedures are described in a step-by-step fashion, which facilitates preparing and dictating for the case. The handbook also covers perioperative management of vascular patients, which helps trainees in preventing and managing complications. Doody's Notes

Review from previous edition ...a valuable resource for junior and senior trainees involved in the peri-operative care of vacular patients. Whilst not being a core text for vascular trainees, this book succeeds in providing a quick and practical source of reference, an achievement not replicated by many other pocket texts. The Surgeon
