Summary:
Okinawa is an island located on the southwest edge of the Japanese Islands in which about 1,300,000 people live, and is an area where selfconclusion type medical treatment is desired. In this area, intravascular surgery was only performed for several cases per year until 1998. From May 1999, intravascular surgery started being performed in earnest, and 140 or more cases of intravascular surgery per year were performed in 2002. In the meantime, various measures for the propagation and development of intravascular surgery that we undertook led to the increase in the number of cases. As a result, the choice of medical treatment has increased by propagating these medical treatments, and it seems that this has contributed to the welfare of the people of Okinawa.
