The European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery publishes a quarterly series of Cochrane Review abstracts. These abstracts are part of an ongoing series of articles produced by the Cochrane Collaborative Review Group on Peripheral Vascular Diseases, which is part of the Cochrane Collaboration. The reviews are published in full on The Cochrane Library, a quarterly electronic journal available on CD-ROM and via the Internet. The electronic format allows Cochrane reviews to accommodate new data as they become available, making the library a consistently up-to-date source of information over time.
The abstracts appearing on the Cochrane Library are now presented in a different, simpler, less scientific format than the abstracts presented here to permit greater accessibility to the public. However, the substance of both versions is the same. Review abstracts on Cochrane reviews will be indexed on MedLine in the near future.
