Abstract
The book discusses recent findings and current perspectives in therapeutic angiogenesis. Generally, surgical bypass and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty alone or in combination with pharmacological therapy are options for revascularization and improvement in limb ischemic symptoms in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Unfortunately, patients with peripheral arterial disease with no other treatment option are subjected to amputation.
