More DescriptionPreservation and reconstruction of the ischemic leg presents vascular surgeons with one of their most complex and difficult challenges. Lower extremity arterial reconstruction has improved dramatically in the last decade, and this book aims to emphasize the development and evolution of currently available techniques. The book opens with a historic overview and goes on to cover preoperative considerations, surgical technique (including reversed vein bypass, in situ vein bypass, and complex reconstruction), outcome and graft surveillance. Detailed presentations of expected outcome results analyzed by appropriate life-table methods are also presented. This concise and well-constructed book is aimed at vascular surgeons as well as general surgeons and physicians. It is written by a group of practicing vascular specialists from the US and UK in order to provide a thorough and up-to-date account of this clinically important developing field.
