Peripheral Endovascular Interventions

Abstract

The concept of treating peripheral arterial diseases using catheter and wires is no longer a novel. For instance, a typical vascular surgeon will perform more than 50% of his/her cases using endovascular techniques. Vascular surgery started having endovascular credentialing and defining endovascular procedures as part of fellowship training since 1993 [1–5]. Vascular surgery fellowships today thrive by training practitioners skilled in both open and endovascular interventions. Some programs have taken one step further, using stimulation modules to train their fellows with good results [6]. For the interventional cardiologist training, it is required that fellows spending one full year learning skill sets for peripheral endovascular interventions [7].
