Gateways in Vascular Surgery: An Operative Atlas

""Gateways to Vascular Surgery" edited by Drs. Sarac and Kashyap is a remarkable atlas of surgical operations. It is meant to be a companion to Zollinger's Atlas of Surgical Operations. The idea for the atlas was born from a student surgical course they developed together where Harvard Medical students would rotate through various surgical duties as they performed basic surgical procedures and techniques on dogs. The two conceived a text with illustrations of common operations for general surgeons in training and in practice. From its inception, the authors determined that medical illustration would play an important role in the atlas and serve as a visual guide to the procedures. The first edition was organized in an oversized folio format which allowed paragraphs of text on the left-side page and a full page of multiple surgical illustrations on the right-side page. This way, text, and the illustrations from the surgeon's point of view could be viewed simultaneously"--
