This new addition to the acclaimed Mastery of Surgery series guides readers step by step through all vascular surgical procedures, both open and endovascular. In the tradition of the series, this text/atlas is written by the world's master surgeons and richly illustrated throughout with detailed drawings, photographs, and imaging scans. Coverage of each procedure begins with indications, contraindications, preoperative preparation, anatomy, and patient management, followed by step-by-step descriptions of operative technique and pitfalls. For diseases in which open and endovascular approaches are used for different indications, both approaches are presented with discussions of when and why each is preferable. Each chapter ends with an editor's comment.

The premise is that we are all leaders. When we care enough to want to create a better future in which to live and work, then we are ready to lead. Exploring the context of the passion which calls us to lead brings into focus our personal framework for leadership learning. As we learn, we discover, develop and nourish the leader within. This book links together the why, the who and the what of leadership in a personalized, but nonprescriptive format. Reflective questions and journalling suggestions assist the reader in a journey that is unique for each individual and in each context. Suggested resources and activities for learning leadership make this a useful tool in classroom or group settings as well as for an emerging leader. The book does not advocate any single theory or approach, but guides the reader to a personal understanding of leadership and its applications.
