Synopsis
Written by a team of 36 international experts in a variety of disciplines, this practical guide provides clinicians and surgeons with guidelines and step-by-step descriptions of the latest techniques for managing critical limb ischemia (CLI). It combines the most recent scientific and clinical research in one comprehensive resource, and utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to combating this growing health concern.
Key features of Critical Limb Ischemia:
ALL RESEARCH TO DATE from medical specialties and industry involved in CLI detection, evaluation, and management gives the reader the necessary background information to best treat patients
HANDS-ON GUIDANCE provides practicing interventionalists with the latest CLI techniques that include both non-invasive and endovascular surgical procedures so they are well-equipped to handle unique and difficult situations
HIGH QUALITY ARTWORK, including over 170 line drawings, radiographs, and figures, provides superior visual aids for achieving successful post-procedural outcomes
RESULTS AND EVIDENCE for a variety of procedures, including PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) and stenting BTK (below the knee), prepares readers for possible surgical outcomes and complications
A REVIEW OF CLI CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS, highlighting new Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) recommendations, keeps readers up-to-date

Reviewer:Ashraf Bin Md Razi, MD(Northwestern Memorial Hospital)
Description:This comprehensive book covers topics important for understanding critical limb ischemia. The chapters are arranged so that the content flows well. The tables and images are presented well and depict the subject clearly. This is a valuable reference for day-to-day practice.
Purpose:The book addresses the challenges and new advances in the treatment of critical limb ischemia. Controversies and new horizons in management are presented well.
Audience:This is a valuable tool for clinicians and residents in practice. It's a bit too heavy for medical students, given all the controversies and recent advances discussed in this book. Practitioners with a vascular background will definitely benefit, while even general surgeons who want a quick reference may find this book useful in their practice.
Features:It covers all areas involved in managing critical limb ischemia without dwelling too much on controversial data or future advances. Endovascular therapy for critical limb ischemia is elaborated very well. The radiological images are well presented. Algorithms that would be very helpful for novice surgeons have not been included in this book (other than in the "below-the-knee" section).
Assessment:This is a quality reference for the intended audience. An updated edition should be published in the next two or three years to incorporate the new advances in this field that will come out in the near future from centers all over the world.
