Overview

More than just a translation from the acclaimed French work Voies d'Abord des Vaisseaux, this revised and updated second edition re-examines the current problems and practices facing today's vascular surgeons. Each chapter has been updated or completely rewritten to reflect the needs of the current practice of vascular surgery. The contributing authors were selected for their world-wide surgical expertise, reflecting both a European and North American view; they share with the senior editors a vision of surgical technique as an important ""everyday"" resource. Each of more than 30 chapters is dedicated to finding the best approach to a specific vein, artery, or other site, with emphasis placed on thorough technical knowledge. With more than 80 illustrations new to this book, over 350 total illustrations provide excellent visual reference to the accompanying text. When appropriate, international anatomic nomenclature is used to guarantee a clear understanding of the material. Because it deals with both basic and advanced techniques, this book will prove useful for vascular surgeons still in training, as well as those more experienced surgeons wishing to consult a definitive reference work. Any physician or surgeon interested in furthering their knowledge of invasive vascular and endovascular surgery would also benefit by reading this work.

Reviews

""General surgeons, neurosurgeons, and plastic surgeons whose practice occasionally involve vascular or microvascular procedures will find this book useful...The excellent description of unusual and alternative approaches and the accompanying discussions of their appropriate applications would certainly justify the addition of this book to any vascular surgeon’s reference shelf."" --Journal of Vascular Surgery ""The book is well-organized, well-written, and concise. The strength lies in the detailed anatomic descriptions that are supplemented by the drawings and illustrations....This comprehensive book is highly recommended for the libraries of experienced vascular, cardiothoracic, and general surgeons as well as trainees in these fields. The book is easy to read, use, and apply,and it compares favorable to other anatomic atlas in vascular surgery."" --Doody's Review Service ""Overall, Vascular Surgical Approaches meets its goal of being a 'helpful tool' for vascular surgeons in training and in practice. Intended as a reference, it is not a cover-to-cover read. ...The strength of this book is the detailed written description of each approach and the technical maneuvers that facilitate performance, particularly on the less commonly performed exposures. For this reason, it will maintain a position in my personal library. --Current Surgery ""This book on vascular surgery exposures is a nice addition to the practicing vascular surgeon’s library. It has a unique slant in select areas, owing a predominantly European authorship. It offers excellent illustrations and helpful accompanying text. The book provides a complete description of all basic exposures that encompass 90% of typical vascular surgery practice, and equally important, it discusses in detail most of the other 10%."" --Annals of Vascular Surgery
