People with an interest in venous disease will be excited about this new book by Mr. Tibbs and Drs. Sabiston, Davies, Mortimer and Scurr.

The book features superb coloured illustrations and exceptional diagrams explaining venous physiology, anatomy and pathology and the management of venous disease. This book is all-inclusive in its description of all congenital and acquired venous disease and discussion of disease management. Details and description of deep valvular repair and valve transplantation are minimal.

Venous thromboembolic disease and lymphatic problems are covered in much less detail than the coverage of venous problems.

The cost of this book will discourage many potential buyers.

This is a well written and comprehensive book covering venous problems, with accurate, interesting informative illustrations. It will be useful as a reference for general and vascular surgical divisions. It would also be an ideal gift for a graduating vascular resident or fellow.
