Review

“The simple and clearly written descriptions and the superb illustrations make this an excellent source of practical advice on the management of varicose veins and other vascular anomalies. It covers everything from the pathogenesis of varicosities to their management. The sections on surgical, injection and laser techniques are highly practical and well-illustrated: it makes the whole subject appear simple.” BMA Awards 2007, review of 4^th Edition

“Even the most experienced physician performing sclerotherapy will benefit tremendously from reading the fifth edition of this book (previous edition 2007). It contains everything you should know about sclerotherapy. This is an excellent sclerotherapy reference and, in my opinion, the best one currently available. If you are just learning sclerotherapy, you definitely want to read this book cover to cover. If you are a seasoned practitioner of sclerotherapy, you should read it to improve and hone your skills.” – Patricia Wong, MD -Stanford University Medical Center (Doody 4 star rating)
