About this book

This book is a unique collection of real life case histories written by experts that highlight the diversity of problems that may be encountered in vascular surgery. Each case scenario is interrupted by several questions that aim to engage the reader in the management of the patient and to give him the opportunity to test his kno- edge. The comments re?ect to as much as possible the principles of evidence based medicine and provide the answers to the questions. Several chapters are authored by individuals that contributed to the development of innovations in the management and prevention of vascular disease and are of interest for both the vascular trainee and the experienced vascular specialist. The goal of this book is to help vascular trainees review for Board and other examinations as well as to provide vascular surgeons who wish to expand or refresh their knowledge with an update and interactive source of information relevant to case scenarios that could be encountered in their practice. The European Boards in Vascular Surgery is a relatively new examination. Although the American Boards in Vascular Surgery were established many years earlier, there are no “dedicated” guides to cover the needs of these examinations.

Reviews

From reviews of the 1st edition:

"This book is one of the first modern applications of problem-related total-learning, considering the vascular patient and his disease problem as a complex entity, requiring a well-considered and careful approach. The basic principle throughout the books is "evidence-based" medicine. The book reads easily (short chapters from 3 to 5 pages, exposing a real vascular case, followed by questions and discussion). An ideal book for self-assessment and continued medical self-education for vascular fellows and established active vascular surgeons." (Hendrik Van Damme, ActaCardiologica, 2004;59(3):361-362).

"This is a thoroughly international book with experts coming together from Rome, Los Angeles, Guilford, Denver, New South Wales, and even Brooklyn. The book should be in the libraries of teaching vascular units. Senior residents assigned to vascular surgery and fellows in vascular surgery will profit by dipping into it before going to case presentations. They will learn how to ask and sometimes even answer questions." (John Bergan, Annals of Vascular Surgery, March 2005)

"It is an applied book that aims to address the topical problems and issues experienced in vascular practice and, as such, complements many of the rather dry textbooks that exist. It is a welcome and effective aid to self learning and assessment for the senior trainee as well as being of value to the practicing vascular specialist." (J. Brittenden, The British Journal of Surgery, 2004;91(2):255.)
