Current Vascular Surgery: 40th Anniversary of the Northwestern Vascular Symposium addresses contemporary topics and controversies in vascular and endovascular surgery. Providing a comprehensive overview of the field’s recent evolution, the volume is the result of the 40th annual symposium sponsored by the Division of Vascular Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. The symposium was held in Chicago from December 10-14, 2015. 

The 2015 Annual Northwestern Vascular Symposium brought together over 50 national experts to address timely topics and controversies in vascular and endovascular surgery. As has been the tradition, presentations cover the full spectrum of vascular surgery including changes in management of extracranial cerebrovascular disease, new treatment options for lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, hemodialysis, improvements in techniques for complex venous disease, and developments in aortic stent graft repair in the chest and abdomen. Each chapter in this volume is based on a presentation, but the book chapters provide deeper, more detailed information than is possible in a symposium presentation.
