| Discipline: | Cardiovas Sys | | Subject Definition: | Vascular Surgical Procedures-Methods-Case Reports | | NLM Class: | WG 170 | | LC Class: | RD598.5 | | Abstract: | This unique case-based review of vascular surgery offers excellent preparation for oral board examinations, which emphasize both general knowledge and case management. The book presents 76 cases covering the range of vascular disorders that surgeons treat and is structured to reflect the surgeon's decision-making process. Each case begins with a patient presentation and imaging studies or pathology results and proceeds through a series of decision points, including differential diagnosis, requests for additional tests, diagnsis, surgical approach, discussion of potential pitfalls, and follow-up. More than 200 X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound scans, endovascular images, and other relevant illustrations--many in full color--accompany the text. |
