Peripheral Endovascular Interventions

Taneous vascular sealing devices. The obvious liability in including these topics in the text is that some may not be adopted or practical for broad clinical application. In this regard, it is not our intent to rec ommend or promote the use of investigational endovascular methods before they are proven by appropriate clinical studies, but rather to provide a detailed assessment of potential advances. To accomplish this goal, we have made timely production and publication of this book a priority so that information presented is as current as possible. Rodney A. White, M.D. Thomas 1.
