Seller's Description:
New. No Dj. Book Octavo, hardcover, new in light brown tweed boards with gold lettering. Clean, unmarked. 609 pp. including index. Changing concepts and ideas are a part of our time, and many of these are the focus of the chapters in this volume. Eastcott, who was present at the birth of carotid surgery, begins a discussion of these changing concepts in his contribution on the beginning of this surgical art. Further examples of changing ideas with regard to the genesis of carotid artery plaques and the mechanisms of production of transient ischemic attacks are detailed in the contributions of Zarins, Giddens, and Glagov on atherosclerotic plaque distribution, and of Salzman on the role of platelet-vessel interaction in cerebrovascular disease. The increasing importance of intraplaque hemorrhage in the genesis of neurologic deficit is emphasized by Lusby, Ferrell, and Wylie in their chapters.
