Manuscripts of the 18th European Vascular Course

Manuscripts of the 18th European Vascular Course presents the latest developments in the multidisciplinary treatment of vascular patients today. The book includes contributions from vascular physicians, surgeons, radiologists, interventionists and other experts in vascular diseases, as they were presented at the 18th European Vascular Course, organized in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
