Vascular Surgery: Illustrated Clinical Cases

Providing real-world case examples and realistic mock examples of vascular surgery emergencies and clinical scenarios, this illustrated text supports trainees and residents in their daily clinical practice. However, the focus on senior decision-making and complex clinical management scenarios will also help trainees prepare for the FRCS (Vasc) and other specialist Vascular Surgery exams.

Indeed, making efficient and appropriate clinical decisions is one of the most important and challenging parts of postgraduate vascular surgical training. These realistic cases will teach trainee vascular surgeons to develop their diagnostic and management skills, expand their experience, and ultimately should empower them to form more advanced clinical management plans that reflect higher level thinking.

Key Features

• Teaches the surgical trainee how to navigate real-world clinical scenarios
• Reinforces the practical application of basic principles
• Encompasses challenging cases
• Provides question and answer options
• Case reflections indicate the rationale behind the decision-making

A broad range of clinical conditions are covered to ensure that the trainee vascular surgeon can respond with confidence when presented with difficult new case scenarios.
