STM publisher Elsevier will unveil Rutherford's Vascular Surgery, 8th Edition, a comprehensive two-volume reference, at the 2014 Vascular Annual Meeting in Boston, June 5 - 7.
The thoroughly revised reference contains the most current evidence-based vascular and endovascular procedures and techniques available today, thanks to contributions made by more than 280 vascular surgery experts.
The Society for Vascular Surgery, which hosts the Vascular Annual Meeting, has collaborated with Elsevier to publish this new edition of Rutherford’s Vascular Surgery. The new edition is now available, and Elsevier is currently accepting orders.
The new edition of Rutherford's Vascular Surgery features 164 chapters organised into 27 sections, including basic science, clinical and laboratory evaluation, vascular imaging, atherosclerotic risk factors, perioperative care, bleeding and clotting, arterial occlusive and aneurysmal diseases, venous thromboembolism, and venous insufficiency and occlusion. New to the 8th Edition are chapters on dialysis catheters, endovascular management of aortic branches, along with updated coverage of medical management, endovascular procedures, open surgical techniques, and all modalities of vascular imaging.
A significant highlight of the 8th Edition is the introduction of an enhanced eBook available on the newly re-launched Elsevier's Expert Consult platform. The e-book offers search, rich media and social and community features. Physicians can interact with content through multimedia features, self-assessment questions, references, abstracts, and procedural videos. An editorial board will insert new content into relevant chapters to make this a 'living textbook.'
Further, articles published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery and the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery will be referenced each month in the chapter to which they apply, so that e-Book readers will have access to the latest reference material. Integrated with the eBook will be features like enhanced images, self-assessment questions, updated references and abstracts, and procedural video. Additionally Rutherford's will be available to major medical institutions through Elsevier's ClinicalKey platform, which delivers access to clinical content, including more than 500 medical journals, 100 books, drug information, guidelines, MEDLINE and ExitCare patient education.
