In recent years, vascular surgery has emerged as a surgical discipline in its own right, as opposed to a sub-specialty of general surgery. An understanding of the basic science underlying vascular disease is essential for vascular surgeons at all levels of expertise. At present, there are no books dealing with basic science as applied to vascular surgery, and this text aims, therefore, to provide an up-to-date guide both to the mechanisms of vascular disease and to the current treatment options available to the vascular surgeon, be they in training or in practice. This is particularly important with the likely implementation of different treatment strategies over the next few years, including gene therapy, eluting stents and pharmacologic manipulation of the vascular system.
