Revised guidelines for the performance of peripheral vascular intervention

Learning Curve for Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Evaluation of a 277-Patient Single-Center Experience

“…Training standards and credentialing guidelines (Table 1) governing the performance of peripheral angioplasty and stent procedures by vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and cardiologists have been reported by several vascular societies and scientific organizations. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The aim of our study is to ascertain the minimum number of AAA endograft deployments an interventional team with endovascular skills must do to be considered well trained in this technique.…”

Practice or Perish: Why Bedside Toxicology is Essential to the Survival of Our Specialty

“…One might look to the recent history of interventional radiology as an example. Vascular surgeons and cardiologists have rapidly expanded their skill set and credentialing to perform a larger number of minimally invasive procedures, effectively waging a "turf war" on interventionalists [14][15][16]. The number of peripheral vascular interventions performed by vascular surgeons and cardiologists are on the rise, and interventionalists' market share for peripheral arterial intervention is rapidly falling [17].…”

Incidence and Treatment of Arterial Access Dissections Occurring during Cardiac Catheterization

“…3). 21,22 In summary, vascular access dissection (1) occur infrequently during cardiac catheterization, (2) may be identified promptly by routine femoral angiography, and (3) can often be treated endovascularly at the time of the index catheterization.…”
