Rutherford's Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 2-Volume Set, 11/e > General Surgery

Published in association with the Society for Vascular Surgery, Rutherford's Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 11th Edition, is quite simply the most complete and most reliable resource available on the art and science of circulatory diseases. This highly regarded, two-volume reference shares the knowledge and expertise of the most respected and innovative global thought leaders and clinical and basic science experts of our time, under the expert editorial guidance of Dr. Anton N. Sidawy, Dr. Bruce A. Perler, and new editor, Dr. Linda M. Harris. Now with an increased emphasis on endovascular therapies, advanced vascular imaging, and modalities such as angiography, CT, and MRI, the newly revised Rutherford’s continues to set the standard for this fast-changing, increasingly multidisciplinary specialty.
