From reviews of the 1st edition: "This book is one of the first modern applications of problem-related total-learning, considering the vascular patient and his disease problem as a complex entity, requiring a well-considered and careful approach. The basic principle throughout the books is "evidence-based" medicine. The book reads easily (short chapters from 3 to 5 pages, exposing a real vascular case, followed by questions and discussion). An ideal book for self-assessment and continued medical self-education for vascular fellows and established active vascular surgeons." (Hendrik Van Damme, ActaCardiologica, 2004;59(3):361-362). "This is a thoroughly international book with experts coming together from Rome, Los Angeles, Guilford, Denver, New South Wales, and even Brooklyn. The book should be in the libraries of teaching vascular units. Senior residents assigned to vascular surgery and fellows in vascular surgery will profit by dipping into it before going to case presentations. They will learn how to ask and sometimes even answer questions." (John Bergan, Annals of Vascular Surgery, March 2005) "It is an applied book that aims to address the topical problems and issues experienced in vascular practice and, as such, complements many of the rather dry textbooks that exist. It is a welcome and effective aid to self learning and assessment for the senior trainee as well as being of value to the practicing vascular specialist." (J. Brittenden, The British Journal of Surgery, 2004;91(2):255.)
