Anton Sidawy, MD, MPH, FACS, Lewis B. Saltz Chair and Professor of Surgery at the George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences, served as editor of the definitive reference for the diagnosis and treatment of circulatory diseases, Rutherford's Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 9th Edition.

This two-volume, 200 chapters, and over 2500 page textbook was co-edited by Bruce A. Perler, MD, MBA, professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and published in association with the Society for Vascular Surgery. The textbook includes guidance from the most respected and innovative global thought leaders and clinical and basic science experts in the field. The print version comes with an online interactive version with videos illustrating complex procedures.

The book will always carry the name of its founder, the late Robert B. Rutherford, MD, FACS, FRCS, former professor emeritus at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, whose impact on the education of students, trainees, and practicing clinicians has been immeasurable. To ensure that this text endures, Rutherford entrusted the Society for Vascular Surgery with the production of future editions and selecting editors that would carry on the tradition he established. This edition boasts an additional 31 chapters over the previous edition, and includes the totality of care delivered by specialists involved in the prevention and management of vascular diseases: open surgery, endovascular therapy, and the medical management of patients with the entire spectrum of circulatory diseases.

Sidawy completed a vascular surgery fellowship at Boston University Hospital and earned an MPH in health care administration from GW. He has had an impressive career as a surgeon and researcher. After 10 years as chief of vascular surgery and then a 14-year tenure as chief of surgery at the VA Medical Center in Washington, D.C. he assumed the position of chair of the Department of Surgery at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In his last 10 years as a faculty member at the VA, he also served as the director of the Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program at Georgetown University.
