Current trends in peripheral vascular surgery. When is surgical intervention the best option?
Surgery continues to play an important role in the management of peripheral vascular disease.

Although endovascular techniques are now being used for managing many vascular problems, the traditional surgical approaches still offer well-documented benefits.
