"...this is a useful reference on critical ischemia that provides a
European wide perspective of the problem." --Journal of Vascular
Surgery "...a very good overview of the subject, ranging from the
pathophysiological basis of the disease to treatment, including
surgical, radiological and medical therapy. All clinicians
practising in this field will find it extremely useful; trainees in
all disciplines would benefit from reading this before their final
examinations." --British Journal of Surgery "...an interesting and
stimilating review of the management of critical limb ischemia
which would be a useful addition to the library of vascular
specialists." --Doody’s Review Service "This book is easy to read
and well categorized, and it is succinctly written in a manuscript
format. The text is complimented by quality radiographs,
intraoperative photographs, simplistic yet informative drawings,
life-table analysis, detailed tables to compare cumulative results
of published data on the subjects, and pertinent references. It is
unequivocally an informative, concise text addressing the issue of
critical limb ischemia with authority and current information. This
book is a welcome addition to the libraries of readers of varying
sophistication and expertise in their medical and surgical
specialties." --Annals of Vascular Surgery "This text is an
excellent reference for residents and vascular surgeons. The book
is not an anatomic exposure or operative techniques manual, as that
was not the goal. The text focuses on results such as graft patency
and limb salvage rates. No case studies or results are based on
limited experiences. I like this book because I can read a brief
chapter on a specific topic that contains reviews of previous
reports with significant data."
