Rrnieiocd /n/ H . V . Liddlc, M . D The second edition of Vosculnr S u r p q is a Comprehensive text that addresses all aspects of this discipline. One hundred fifteen recognized authorities have contributed 156 chapters, of which 73 are either new or newly revised. The chapters vary in length and detail from introductory overviews to in-depth discussions. The sections on noninvasive testing for arterial and venous disease provide very inclusive and readable coverage that includes a detailed description of the hemodynamics of normal and altered blood flow. The chapters on vasospastic diseases, causalgia, aneurysms, liver disease and varices, renovascular hypertension, and cerebral ischemia are thorough discussions of the pathophysiology, natural history, treatment (including medical and surgical alternatives), and expected outcome of each condition. The book has some shortcomings. For instance, I believe that
the overview essays are often unnecessary and could well be replaced by introductory paragraphs i n their respective c h a p ters. Several chapters are relatively superficial in content, seem to be directed to a medical student audience, and fail to provide source information. The chapter on extraanatomical grafts omits important technical details and pitfalls of operation that should be discussed in depth. The section on deep venous incompetence is superficial, alludes only briefly to the Linton procedure, and, although it describes several surgical approaches, does not defend a definitive mode of treatment for this disorder. However, other chapters, such as the one on hemodynamics and pathophysiology of arterial disease (chapter 4), are basic enough for the student reader yet sophisticated enough to be informative to the clinician. All sections are well referenced and provide the reader with sufficient resource material. In addition to the text references, many authors present an additional selected reference list that pertains to the essential issues discussed in their chapters. This text is sufficiently comprehensive to become a standard for the specialty.
