Cardiovascular and Peripheral Vascular Surgery/Vascular Lab Services.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c24187) has announced the addition of Cardiovascular and Peripheral Vascular Surgery/Vascular Lab Services to their offering.

A 120-page toolbox of clinical and review criteria guidelines/benefit interpretations for the title topics by procedure or test/exam. Resources include extensive current references and related web sites. Updated annually.
