Bolfield’s Vascular Surgery & Endovascular Therapy: Fully-Illustrated Anatomy and Modern Techniques Atlas for Clinical Decision Making + Exam Question Simulator & Flashcard Deck

Vascular surgery is the one specialty where every operation now has two answers, an open answer and an endovascular answer, and knowing both is no longer optional. This atlas moves through the circulation the way an angiographer would, one anatomic territory at a time, teaching the anatomy, the disease, and both modern techniques side by side. What Makes This Book Different Organized anatomically, not procedurally: each chapter is a complete portrait of one vascular territory, from the thoracic aorta down to the diabetic foot Every regional chapter gives full, technically grounded treatment to BOTH the open surgical technique and the endovascular technique Named danger points and named anatomy are called out explicitly in every chapter Covers the full modern scope of the specialty from aortic disease and complex fenestrated repair to the emerging technology reshaping the field Every chapter closes with board-style questions and full rationale, a Did You Know history of the field's pioneers and etymology, and a high-yield recap. Every chapter answers the question a procedure-only reference can't: what is the anatomy, what goes wrong with it, how is it fixed with a scalpel, how is it fixed with a catheter, and which structure must never be injured along the way. What You'll Learn The named anatomy of every major vascular territory, from the aortic arch's three great vessels to the tibial trifurcation and the pedal arch, and the named collateral pathways, the marginal artery of Drummond, the geniculate network, the circle of Willis, that determine whether an occlusion is tolerated or catastrophic Both the open and the endovascular answer for every major vascular problem, so you understand the tradeoffs rather than only one modality The classification systems that structure real vascular decision-making, Stanford and DeBakey for aortic dissection and the endoleak typing that governs EVAR surveillance The named danger points that separate a clean vascular operation from a catastrophic one down to the phrenic nerve and thoracic duct in the thoracic outlet How modern endovascular technology actually works and the digital subtraction angiography that guides every decision The full territory of vascular disease beyond the aorta and the legs, mesenteric and renal vascular disease, dialysis access creation and maintenance, lymphedema and vascular malformations, vasculitis and non-atherosclerotic disease, and the realities of amputation and rehabilitation when limb salvage is not possible If you want to understand vascular surgery the way the specialty is actually practiced today, one anatomic territory at a time, with the open answer and the endovascular answer taught side by side, this is the atlas built for that.
