Description

**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles as an Essential Purchase in Vascular Surgery**

Published in association with the Society for Vascular Surgery, Rutherford's Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 11th Edition, is quite simply the most complete and most reliable resource available on the art and science of circulatory diseases. This highly regarded, two-volume reference shares the knowledge and expertise of the most respected and innovative global thought leaders and clinical and basic science experts of our time, under the expert editorial guidance of Dr. Anton N. Sidawy, Dr. Bruce A. Perler, and new editor, Dr. Linda M. Harris. Now with an increased emphasis on endovascular therapies, advanced vascular imaging, and modalities such as angiography, CT, and MRI, the newly revised Rutherford’s continues to set the standard for this fast-changing, increasingly multidisciplinary specialty.

Key features

  • Contains 200+ fully updated, concise chapters with a focused format and summary for each, as well as cross-references to other chapters providing quick access to additional related information―ideal for consultation as well as daily practice
  • Incorporates fundamental vascular biology, diagnostic techniques, and decision making as well as medical, endovascular, and surgical treatment of vascular disease
  • Features even more concise and comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms vital to patient evaluation and management, with a new, dedicated table of contents for algorithms that provides direct and easy access
  • Covers all vascular imaging techniques including evolving new imaging technology, offering a non-invasive evaluation of both the morphology and hemodynamics of the vascular system
  • Includes new content on endovascular treatment of complex aortic disease, acute vascular occlusion in the pediatric population, minimally invasive and robotic vascular surgeries, outpatient vascular care, innovations in hemodialysis access, the use of bioengineered grafts, and expanding treatment options for diverse patient populations, including those with nonatherosclerotic disease such as connective tissue disorders and complex vascular malformations. In addition, the text provides a comprehensive presentation of the surgical exposures for open surgical reconstructions throughout the body, including extensive illustrations, and much more
  • Employs a full-color layout, 1,750 images, and dozens of high-quality videos—most new to this edition, along with a dedicated table of contents for videos
  • Reflects today’s movement toward less invasive, image-guided interventions; cutting-edge technology; management of complex complications; limb preservation (especially in diabetic patients); practice management and telemedicine; the integration of digital health tools, including the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in the evaluation and management of the patient with circulatory disease; and expanding roles for vascular surgeons in multidisciplinary care
  • Provides an indispensable reference not only for vascular surgeons and vascular trainees, but also for general surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists who manage patients with vascular disease, as well as trainees preparing for in-service and board certification exams
  • An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
