Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is perhaps no specialty that has seen more rapid progression and advancements in delivering care than vascular surgery. Training for vascular surgery has parted from the traditional general or cardiac surgery model, into dedicated vascular training in endovascular and open surgery in many parts of the world. With a wide range of procedures performed in different anatomical locations, vascular surgery has formed strong links with multiple medical and surgical specialties. In addition, this advancement could not be possible without improvements in medical imaging and strong collaboration with radiology.
With this technology, major challenges are seen with workforces and delivering vascular services, particularly in remote areas, training surgeons in both endovascular and open surgical skills, and an older cohort of patients that have improved life expectancy but which might still have risk factors. The shift from aortic diseases to an older population and the challenges of a younger population with a higher prevalence of diabetes, obesity and renal disease pose a potential area of unmet need.
Aim and the Scope of the Special Issue:
This Special Issue aims to report recent advancements in vascular surgery including epidemiological, treatment, and outcome data. It will also highlight some of the challenges facing vascular surgery to help the future delivery of high-quality care to vascular patients.
