50 Studies every Vascular Surgeon Should Know presents key studies that have shaped the practice of Vascular Surgery. Selected using a rigorous methodology, the studies cover topics including carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysm, peripheral artery disease, trauma, venous disease and vascular access. For each study, a concise summary is presented with an emphasis on the results and limitations of the study, and its implication for practice. An illustrative clinical case concludes each review to highlight the impact of the study on clinical practice. This book is a must read for vascular surgeons, especially those in training and preparing for board exams, as well as anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice.
