“This would be a great book for any surgical resident or general surgeon who manages vascular surgical problems on call. The authors are recognized experts in the field of vascular surgery. … This is a high-quality book, and the content is concise and high yield. It is a terrific resource to use to begin building a foundation of knowledge in vascular surgery. I would recommend it for any surgical trainee, nonvascular surgeon, or incoming vascular surgery fellow.” (Gabriel A Wallace, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)
