Praise for previous editions
"I would recommend this book to all physicians looking after patients with venous thromboembolism ... .The single author style has the advantage of a consistent format and lack of repetition, and the book is very well written." (Cardiology News, December 2008)
"Paul Stein ... has used his vast knowledge and perspective to organize [t]his definitive text ... .In this long-awaited second edition he builds on the knowledge base regarding this common and yet often misdiagnosed condition. This text fills a gap in the knowledge-base of the physician, nurse, or therapist who cares for patients with pulmonary embolism. By using a clear and organized format with many graphs and diagrams, Stein provides detailed information beyond the scope of an online review, but in a readily searchable and easily accessible format. Stein does a nice job of explaining the challenges of using intermediate end points in the assessment of efficacy. Stein is clearly one of the world's experts, and this far-reaching volume is a pleasure to read." (Respiratory Care, September 2008)
"This textbook is cohesive, tightly organized, and has no repetition.... It is beautifully illustrated...[and] is my 'go to' source for rapid reference." (Journal of Interventional Cardiology)
"An excellent contribution to the relevant contemporary literature.... I enjoyed reading the book and recommend it to my colleagues." (World Journal of Surgery)
