Guidelines For Hospital Privileges In Vascular Surgery And Endovascular Surgery: Recommendations Of The Society For Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery as a specialty continues to evolve with a significant shift towards endovascular therapies.  These guidelines were originally developed in 2002 and updated in 2008 by the Clinical Practice Council of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). 

The guidelines address the following topics:

  • Definition of vascular surgery
  • Pathways to training and certification in vascular surgery
  • Training requirements for vascular surgery residents
  • Training requirements for new procedures for credentialed surgeons
  • Requirements for hospital privileges
