What is a Vascular Surgeon and How Can They Help You?

A vascular surgeon provides surgical and medical treatment for blood vessel diseases affecting arteries, veins, and lymphatics (excluding cardiac and cerebral vessels). These surgeons focus on restoring circulation and preventing vascular complications.

Vascular surgeons complete medical school and either a five-year general surgery residency plus two-year vascular fellowship, or an integrated five- to six-year vascular surgery residency. Training includes both open and endovascular methods.

A Vascular Surgeon's clinical activities include:

  • Specializes in arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems outside the heart and brain
  • Assesses patients, orders vascular imaging (ultrasonography, CT angiography), diagnoses vascular pathology, performs surgical interventions
  • Manages aortic aneurysmal disease, carotid stenosis, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, venous insufficiency, and venous thromboembolism
  • Uses conventional vascular surgery, catheter-based interventions (stents, angioplasty), bypass operations, and minimally invasive procedures
  • Also called: endovascular surgeon, vascular specialist, MD, DO
