Summary

The endovascular specialist has arrived. Times are changing and it is vital for all those interested in endovascular intervention to train in and embrace these new technologies. The chapters in this book have all been written by carefully selected internationally renowned endovascular specialists. Each author is at the cutting edge of the endovascular revolution and they are the architects of change in the treatment of vascular disease. The topics have been chosen to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of modern endovascular practice. None are specialty-based and will appeal to surgeons, radiologists, cardiologists and all practitioners involved in the endovascular management of vascular disease. The management of aortic, thoracic, carotid, mesenteric and venous disease is changing. This book is designed to update you on these developments and to encourage you to participate in this exciting phase in the treatment of patients with vascular disease. Enjoy the read.
