Emergency Vascular Practice. Este artículo no está disponible.Emergency Vascular Practice

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.
