Vascular surgery training: is there enough case material?

Abstract:

:In recent years, vascular surgery fellowships have changed substantially to meet the requirements for interventional as well as open surgical training. Data from the Residency Review Committee for Surgery indicate that the average vascular fellow performed fewer than 15 interventional procedures in 2000, but that this volume had increased to more than 200 interventional procedures by 2005, an increase of 255%. During the same interval, there was a slight (4%) decrease in the average number of major open vascular reconstructions performed. In 2005, the average vascular fellow performed 450 primary procedures, nearly equally divided between open and interventional cases. Selected open operations, such as aortic aneurysm repair, have decreased in volume due to the substitution by endovascular procedures. Operative volume for vascular fellows has been preserved in part by a 19% reduction in major vascular operations performed by general surgery residents. However, with added overall volume due to the increased prevalence of vascular disease in the aging population, there appears to be adequate case material to train future vascular surgeons, as long as less commonly performed operations continue to be focused on vascular trainees.
