Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Endovascular Surgery
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • Endovascular surgery (EVS) is a rapidly evolving field within vascular surgery.
  • Understanding trainee perspectives is crucial for adapting surgical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess vascular surgery fellows' opinions on endovascular surgery (EVS).
  • To identify trends in EVS training and practice over a two-year period.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to vascular surgery fellows over two consecutive academic years (1998-1999 and 1999-2000).
  • Data from 64 fellows (F98) and 52 fellows (F99) were compared and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Fellows reported increased performance of endovascular grafting (50% to 81%) and a shift towards performing EVS in radiology/cardiology suites.

  • The proportion of fellows feeling sufficiently trained in EVS increased from 30% to 50% over the study period.
  • Most fellows (90%) believed EVS would constitute 30% of their future practice, with radiology specialists initially performing most procedures, though vascular surgeons' share increased.

    • Conclusions:

    • Vascular surgery trainees are actively engaged in endovascular procedures and foresee its significant role in their careers.
    • Key trends include a rise in endovascular grafting and vascular surgeons performing EVS in interventional suites, indicating evolving training and practice patterns.
