Vascular Surgery
Surgical techniques are used to repair, reconstruct and correct
deformities, defects and diseased parts of the body. To provide
the best care, a surgeon participates in the preoperative care of
the patient, conducting examinations, clinical tests and X-rays.
Vascular surgeons use angiography and ultrasound to evaluate vascular
insufficiency, a cause of numerous disorders, and to diagnose and
treat diseased or injured arteries and veins. Vascular surgeons
must complete the same requirements as the general surgeon - a minimum
of five years of surgical training beyond medical school - plus
two years of training in vascular surgery.
