This bibliometric analysis examines global vascular surgery research (2001-2024) from 64 Scopus-indexed journals. 69,487 publications were identified. The annual publications increased from 1,885 in 2001 to 4,252 in 2024, representing a 125.6% growth. Research output was concentrated in a core group of journals, led by Journal of Vascular Surgery (8,914 publications), Annals of Vascular Surgery (7,206), and Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology (7,121), underscoring their central role in shaping the field. Authorship was highly centralized, with 13 leading authors producing ≥150 publications each. The most prolific contributors were Moll, F.L. (262), Gloviczki, P. (210), and Schermerhorn, M.L. (189). Major institutional contributors included Harvard Medical School (1,520 publications), Mayo Clinic (1,010), and Massachusetts General Hospital (980). Research funding was primarily provided by public agencies, led by the National Institutes of Health (4,014 publications), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (3,698), and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (3,009), whereas industry support was comparatively limited. At the geographic level, the United States dominated global research with 29,422 publications, followed by Europe (27,205) and Asia (9,086), while Latin America (2,215), Australia/New Zealand (1,795), the Middle East (1,094), and Africa (456) remained underrepresented. Overall, vascular surgery research has experienced substantial global growth; however, it remains highly centralized in terms of journals, authors, institutions, and funding. Persistent regional disparities highlight the need for targeted investment, capacity building, and international collaborations to promote equitable research participation and foster worldwide advancement in vascular surgery.
