• Sommario/riassunto: Treatment of vascular disease has progressed and evolved rather quickly in the last 5-10 years with current treatments improving and changing rapidly. This handbook serves to educate medical students and surgery residents regarding the most up-to-date treatments for arterial, venous and lymphatic disease. Endovascular management of these disorders has emerged rapidly and the most current techniques will be covered in detail.
