Full Description
This book functions as a practical guide for the implementation of venous procedures, offering clear Instructions for Use (IFU) alongside helpful tips and techniques. Written by expert authors at Massachusetts General Hospital, it aims to be a practical resource for handling day-to-day cases, covering interventional, clinical, and surgical approaches to care. It is divided into four sections: basic considerations, advanced considerations, protocols, and procedures adding complexity as the reader progresses through the book. The book is designed for ease of comprehension, focusing on specific areas within the chapters that are relevant to daily practice.
