Description

As the elderly segment of the population continues to grow, the questions that exist regarding vascular problems - such as appropriate therapies and their relative cost effectiveness, the effect of these treatments on the quality of life, and the implications of these interventions on longevity - become increasingly important. This pioneering volume provides a thoughtful, experienced and data based exploration of all these issues, arriving at reasonable conclusions that should provide considerable clinical guidance and wisdom to every reader.
