Description
Vascular diseases with their high morbidity and mortality, are a major challenge to medical science, engaging the best minds in western
medicine. Recently a concerted effort by experts in many different fields has been mounted to meet this challenge, and progress has been
commensurately rapid. Major advances in non-invasive diagnosis, endovascular therapy, surgery of arterial obstructive disease and aneurysmal
surgery have taken place while research into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of vascular disease has kept pace with these
advances.
Advances in Vascular Pathology 1997 deals in depth with the accelerated rate of progress in these areas. The majority
of its contributors are members of the Executive Board of the International Union of Angiology (IUA). They were asked to produce, at
short notice, written versions of their forthcoming lectures at the meeting of the European Chapter of the IUA in Rome, 23-26 October
1997. This undertaking was fulfilled admirably, making the book a compendium of up-to-the-minute overviews of the major advances in vascular
disease by those most closely involved with them and a unique contribution to the literature of the field.
Advances in Vascular
Pathology 1997 contains contributions by world-renowned scientists, experts in the various fields of the vascular sciences, both
medical and surgical, and as such is an important contribution to the diffusion of scientific information.
