Heuser Richard R., Henry Michel (eds.) Textbook of Peripheral Vascular Interventions

2nd edition. — Informa Healthcare, 2008. — 930 p. — ISBN: 978-1-84184-643-9Textbook of Peripheral Vascular Intervention, Second Edition, discusses therapies that can make a real difference in the lives of patients.
