Something happens with the first edition of a textbook that leads to a second edition. Something must have succeeded. Someone has to understand the success to ensure that the next edition meets the expectations of the readers. As we planned this new edition of Comprehensive Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, the original four editors and our editorial staff discussed that “something” in great detail.
What have we heard about the first edition that sets this textbook apart from others? First, we chose a comprehensive but concise approach to cover all the main topics in vascular disease. Detailed discussions of rare topics were left to other, more encyclopedic, books. In other words, our readers commented that they could read this textbook cover-to-cover in a reasonable period of time. Second, we chose authors who are clinical experts in both open surgical and endovascular techniques. Consequently, the first edition revealed a balance in open and endovascular options for every clinical problem.
Some other features of the first textbook appealed to our readers, too. The consistency in simply designed anatomical drawings and reproductions of vascular imaging was considered a strength. Next, and perhaps as important, the CD-ROM collection of all illustrations and tables helped our readers to quickly assemble PowerPoint presentations for teaching. This innovation with the book may have done more to advance vascular disease education than any other feature of the first edition.
This newest edition of Comprehensive Vascular and Endovascular Surgery sustains the features that our readers acknowledged so graciously with the first textbook. In addition, we have advanced this new edition with several new features. First, Dr Thom Rooke, an internationally recognized cardiovascular medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic, joins our editorial team. We recognize that cardiologists and vascular internists are venturing more into medical and interventional management of peripheral vascular disease. Dr Rooke's input represents their interests. Second, we have updated every chapter and added several new erudite discussions of other topics, such as vascular imaging and radiation safety, vascular infections, and aortic dissections. Finally, we have added a bank of study questions to assist with review and preparation for board examinations.
We hope that this second edition of Comprehensive Vascular and Endovascular Surgery provides a practical and user-friendly reference for the care of your patients. Again, we welcome your feedback to improve future editions. Stay in touch. Share your experience and knowledge with us and with your colleagues who are dedicated to vascular care.
