“This is a great addition to the library of any cardiovascular physician or anyone else involved in the care of patients with CLI. It gives a foundation for the care of these patients while providing insights into the complex needs which necessitate a multidisciplinary approach for optimal care. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is involved in the treatment and management of patients with CLI.” (Michael C. Soult, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
