We would like to thank all of the authors for their valuable revisions and new contributions. We are also grateful to Dr. Bedürftig, Ms. Behle, and Ms. Sänger and to all the other staff, who along with the graphic designer Ms. Baum have once again given the book its excellent design.
Readers may notice that there has been a change in the order of the editors’ names. We would like to continue this rotation in the coming years as well as to continue to keep readers informed about the very latest state of developments in the treatment of vascular diseases.
