Advancing Skills,
Improving Outcomes

Endovascular techniques are increasingly becoming integral to vascular surgery. Basic training equips trainees with a diverse skill set that includes both open surgical procedures and modern minimally invasive approaches. This versatility is crucial for providing comprehensive patient care. Knowledge about radiation protection, access challenges and becoming familiar with the endovascular tools are prerequisites and will prepare trainees for the demands of modern practice.

Training in imaging and preprocessing for endovascular surgery is essential in this rapidly evolving field. Precise analysis and measurements are key and optimizes procedural planning and therefore proper device selection and strategic procedure planning. Training includes recognizing potential complications that can be identified through imaging, such as dissections, perforations, or thrombosis following endovascular interventions. As technology advances, ongoing education in imaging modalities and preprocessing methods will remain integral to the practice of endovascular surgery.

Training on leg arteries, anastomosis, and bypass procedures is crucial for developing the skills necessary to perform vascular surgeries safely and effectively. Comprehensive training that combines anatomy, proper surgical techniques, and patient care will prepare surgical trainees to deliver high-quality vascular care. Even in the endovascular era, vascular surgery training remains critically important for managing the growing elderly population for several reasons.
