Review(s) from previous edition

"...a valuable resource for junior and senior trainees involved in the peri-operative care of vacular patients. Whilst not being a core text for vascular trainees, this book succeeds in providing a quick and practical source of reference, an achievement not replicated by many other pocket texts. - The Surgeon
