You can do clinical research, you can do basic science,
you can look at outcomes to see how your patients do.
All of this is very important in order to make the care
of your patient better in the future.

Whether research is your first love or something you may wish to pursue during your career, vascular surgery provides
many and varied opportunities to conduct such research. Just as vascular surgery combines the best of both the surgical and primary care worlds, so too does the research into this fascinating specialty.
New devices and techniques, including imaging, are about to experience an explosion of development, and as a new vascular surgeon, you will help determine where scarce health care dollars can do the most good for the greatest number of patients. Vascular surgery research has and will continue to revolutionize medicine today.
Vascular research runs the gamut from basic science cellular research, engineering/graft and stent development, diagnostic advances to clinical and medical management of vascular diseases. Research is not only done by full-time academic surgeons, but also by private practitioners excited by the potential changes in our field.
