The book primarily investigates the status quo of vascular surgery in Europe, covering mainly training and organization of vascular services. Since the last publication, the expansion of the EU through the inclusion of 10 more countries, with varying differences in training and vascular services, has created a need to review the current state of the specialty across Europe. A framework for effective management and harmonization can be built from information gleaned from this book.

History of the development of the European Division and Board of Vascular Surgery to present day
Comprehensive data on workings of the vascular surgical specialty across Europe
Extensive information on vascular registries
