Editorial Reviews
Review
“‘This volume…should be of special value to the vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the prevention and treatment of aortic diseases. It should also be enlightening to general practitioners, family care physicians, and laypersons interested in this field.’ The book certainly meets his expectations and the needs of its intended audience.” (Michael J Bates, Doody’s Book Reviews, December 20, 2019)
