Vascular Disorders of the Upper Extremity, 3rd Edition

Journal of Vascular Surgery (review of the second edition)

"Within the scope of vascular surgery there is no comparable text. This is an authoritative book that deals exclusively with vascular disorders of the upper extremity. The book provides a single-source text for specific problems that is easy to read and understand. In addition, the textbook provides a thoughtful and studied approach into perplexing problems associated with cumulative trauma disorders and thoracic outlet compression. Thus, this book serves as a ready reference for a variety of physicians including vascular and general surgeons, as well as general internists and vascular medicine specialists.

"...highly recommended and well priced."

Annals of Vascular Surgery

"The 3rd edition of Vascular Disorders of the Upper Extremity is a portable size book that brings the reader up to date. A large majority of upper extremity problems encountered by the practicing vascular surgeon pose difficulties for two reasons: (1) patient volumes outside a referral center are minimal, and (2) the pathophysiology rarely involves atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is important for the practicing vascular surgeon to have a reasonable reference source to deal with these infrequent, but often complicated, cases."

Journal of Vascular Surgery

"I find this a timely and valuable contribution. In a crowded field of texts on circulatory disease, this focused, well written, beautifully illustrated, and comprehensively referenced work will be a useful addition to the library of clinicians caring for patients with upper extremity disorders."

Doody’s Review Service

"[Dr. Machleder’s] experience is evident in what he writes, and that translates into well-written, readable chapters.

"...this book would be of interest to the vascular surgeon, general surgeon and trainee in surgery. It serves as a useful review of various issues on the management of these often complex vascular problems. It would be a good book to have for most practising physicians who encounter patients with upper extremity vascular disorders."
