This comprehensive, up-to-date textbook offers detailed coverage of venous anatomy, pathophysiology, imaging, and management of venous pathology, leading the practitioner through all aspects of care of the venous patient. The various techniques that have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of venous disease during the past decade are all discussed, with clear guidance on their indications and performance. The book is exceptional in being based entirely on the curriculum designed for board certification by the American College of Phlebology. A further unique aspect of the text is the integration of ultrasound, which now plays a fundamental role in diagnosis and management.
