Update on management of carotid, aortic and peripheral arterial pathologies

Update on Management of Carotid, Aortic and Peripheral Arterial Pathologies 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 19th European Vascular Course, organized in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
