Abstract
Over the last 20 years, there has been a change in the management of vascular disease. Endovascular treatment is now more likely to be considered a first-line option for the treatment of vascular disease which would have previously fallen within the province of more invasive open surgery. While this change in emphasis may be attributed to numerous factors, primarily the improvement in techniques and equipment, the availability and safety of day-case procedures have been contributory to this development. Day-case procedures have a proven safety record, are favoured by the majority of patients and are cost-effective, which are particularly pertinent given the current atmosphere of cost-control. Within this chapter we shall discuss the necessary framework required to establish an effective and efficient day-case service. A particular emphasis will be placed on appropriate patient selection, the benefits of defined clinical roles and the required infrastructure to allow optimum safety, as well as effectiveness. We shall describe the benefits and detail-associated complication. The reader should be informed on the available evidence on day-case procedures, how to establish a service and the current status and possible future direction of day-case procedures.
