Description

The Second Edition of Handbook of Carotid Artery Surgery focuses on extracranial arterial lesions and their treatment, including reviews of some 200 new papers that have appeared since the publication of the first edition. Updated information is presented regarding anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, diagnosis by clinical and angiographic methods, and results of operative and nonoperative treatment in various categories of patients. Hard data is provided on early and late results of endarterectomy, the causes of morbidity and mortatility, and the long-term results and life expectancy of patients with surgery and without surgery. New methods of Doppler scanning (including colorflow and transcranial Doppler) are analyzed, and new reports on techniques, such as magnetic resonance angiography are featured. New information regarding the significance, prevention, and treatment of carotid restenosis has also been reviewed. Extensively updated, this new edition makes important facts and figures readily available for the busy physician.
