Genesis, Pathophysiology Management of Venous Diseases is the must-have resource on venous disease. The book bridges the gap between basic science and clinical medicine, covering the history of venous surgery, the lymphatic system and anatomy, pathophysiology of various venous disease, etiology, clinical manifestations and diagnosis, management, and medical and surgical treatment options. It also places attention on genetic studies and pharmacological analysis of various anticoagulants which are widely used in treating venous diseases and deep vein thrombosis and highlights the importance of microscopic venous valves and their pathology in both normal and disease condition.

The breadth of topics covered makes this reference suitable for a range of professionals in phlebolymphology and cardiology, including medical students, practicing clinicians, surgeons, researchers, radiologists, bioengineers, and more.
