Reviews

From the reviews:“The authors provide a superb handbook covering the entire spectrum of interventional nephrology directed at both those new to the field and those with considerably more experience. … an excellent supplement to larger textbooks in the field. … Anyone interested in the practice of these types of cases (interventional radiologists, interventional nephrologists, interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons) would both enjoy and benefit from this book. … Its portable size gives it a distinct advantage over larger books … .” (Kevin C. Harned, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2013)
