Material is presented in a practical clinical framework, drawing on Spitell's experience as a clinician, in chapters on occlusive peripheral arterial disease, aneurysmal disease, aortic dissection, arteritis, vasospastic disorders, venous disorders, leg edema, leg and foot ulcers, vascular clues to diagnosis, and some uncommon disorders. Black & white clinical photos are included.
