A practical, full-color reference on the major medical and minmally invasive approaches to managing patients with common and rare vascular diseases. This book is one of the first truly comprehensive texts to provide a medically-focused, as opposed to surgically focused, approach to the management of vascular diseases. Presented in full color, with extensive illustrations and practical, clinically-oriented text, the book covers all major conditions such as inflammatory disease, portal hypertension, and granulamatosis. Reflecting an interdisciplinary approach, the author team represents all major specialties represented in the book (outpatient medicine, vascular medicine, cardiology, and radiology).
