Great resource for vascular trainees

Although daunting to start with, this is a comprehensive and easy to read reference for vascular surgery. A must have for all current and aspiring vascular trainees, or even part-timers who have a keen interest in this expanding field. For an aspiring trainee such as myself, it has been difficult to find such an up to date reference that covers the background to difficult subjects like basic sciences and fundamentals to endovascular surgery, as well as in depth discussions on other vascular staples like carotids, chronic limb ischaemia etc. Although initially worried about the size and cost, am DEFINITELY glad that I took the plunge and bought this for myself.
