Atlas of Vascular Disease / Edition 3

by Mark Creager

Overview

This Atlas will explore the rapid advancements being made in vascular biology, pharmacology, and technology regarding vascular disease. Technical advances have been especially significant in this field, essentially redefining the role of imaging modalities. These include ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance angiography, all of which reduce the risks inherent to invasive procedures.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Peter A Naughton, M.D.(Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This atlas outlines basic vascular disease epidemiology and pathology, as well as more up-to-date vascular interventional issues and clinical outcomes. This third edition includes a new chapter on vasculitis and a revised chapter on preoperative risk assessment and medical management of the patient undergoing a vascular intervention.
Purpose: The purpose is to convey in a concise and visual format the epidemiology and pathophysiology of vascular disease, along with the clinical presentation, suitable diagnostic imaging modalities, and various open and endovascular therapeutic options for a variety of common vascular conditions. The information is eloquently presented with many diagrammatic, radiological, histological, and clinical illustrations, including tables with highlighted key learning points.
Audience: It is suitable for medical students and healthcare professionals who see and treat patients with vascular disease. It is a valuable tool for junior vascular surgical trainees.
Features: This atlas provides a visual representation of the epidemiology, pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation and various interventional options for a wide variety of commonly encountered vascular pathology. The benefit of this atlas is its clear visual layout with the pertinent must-know points highlighted in tables. It eloquently demonstrates that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Assessment: This third edition offers a more complete overview of many common vascular entities than the previous editions. Many management issues are summarized from up-to-date literature and presented in a visual, easy to read manner. This atlas will be of benefit to all junior clinicians interested in increasing their vascular knowledge base.
