Introduction: Quality of Care Measures for the Vascular Surgery Patient
Providing high-quality care to patients with vascular disease is a goal for all vascular surgeons and affiliated healthcare providers. We know that high quality care delivered to patients before, during and after vascular surgery translates into better clinical outcomes, lower costs and improved patient satisfaction [1]. But what is not always clear is how to define and measure the quality of care vascular surgery patients receive. Vascular providers need to know how to assess quality of care, understand which specific quality measures can be applied to vascular surgery, and learn how to identify new areas for quality improvement.

FDA grants de novo clearance to Avenu Medical for Ellipsys vascular access system
Vascular access system maker Avenu Medical said today it won FDA de novo clearance for its Ellipsys vascular access system designed for use with end-stage renal disease patients who require hemodialysis.
The San Juan Capistrano, Calif.-based company touted that its Ellipsys EndoAVF technology acts as an alternative to traditional AV fistula creation. The system, which can be used under local or regional anesthesia, uses an ultrasound-guided catheter that delivers a small amount of thermal energy to fuse a permanent anastomosis between the vein and artery to create an AVF.
“Using the Ellipsys vascular access system ...

Teaching medical students ultrasound-guided vascular access - which learning method is best?
CONCLUSIONS: The group receiving traditional face-to-face teaching on ultrasound-guided vascular access, performed significantly better than those not receiving education. As the number of ultrasound machines in clinical areas increases, it is important that education programs to support their safe and appropriate use are developed.

Using learning analytics to examine achievement of graduation targets for systems-based practice and practice-based learning and improvement: A national cohort of vascular surgery fellows
The Institute of Medicine publication, To Err is Human, shed light on the importance of addressing patient safety issues in the Unites States, and was followed shortly thereafter by Crossing the Quality Chasm, further challenging the medical profession to improve the quality of healthcare delivery1,2. The vascular surgery community has since embraced the imperative to address these issues, as evidenced by the formation of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Vascular Quality Initiative in 2011, which seeks to “improve the quality, safety, effectiveness, and cost of vascular health care by collecting and exchanging info...

Fourth-Year Medical Students ’ Perceptions of Vascular Surgery: Can We Improve the Pipeline?
Since their inception, Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency (IVSR) programs have expanded widely and attracted highly competitive medical students by offering a more focused approach to learning both open surgical and endovascular techniques. However, despite substantial modifications to the training paradigm, a shortage of vascular surgeons is still projected through 2050. We aimed to gather and analyze fourth-year medical students ’ knowledge and perceptions of vascular surgery (VS) to further inform strategies for recruiting future vascular surgeons.

Cognitive deficits of pure subcortical vascular dementia vs Alzheimer disease: PiB-PET-based study
Conclusions:
Patients with PiB(–) SVaD were better at memory but worse at frontal function than patients with PiB(+) AD. The differences in memory/frontal functions observed between the 2 groups, however, could not differentiate all individual data due to some overlap in the cutoff threshold.

Simulation in vascular access surgery training.
Authors: Widmer LW, Schmidli J, Widmer MK, Wyss TR
Abstract
Rapidly growing technical developments and working time constraints call for changes in trainee formation. In reality, trainees spend fewer hours in the hospital and face more difficulties in acquiring the required qualifications in order to work independently as a specialist. Simulation-based training is a potential solution. It offers the possibility to learn basic technical skills, repeatedly perform key steps in procedures and simulate challenging scenarios in team training. Patients are not at risk and learning curves can be shortened. Advanced learne...

Bullying, Undermining, and Harassment in Vascular Surgical Training in the UK: How Can it be Confronted?
The performance of high quality surgery relies on ongoing education which requires a safe learning environment. However, a recent unpublished report by the Rouleaux Club membership (the vascular trainee body) identified issues with bullying and harassment in UK training. Their national survey (120 vascular trainees, 60% respondents), reported 46% experiencing or witnessing bullying, undermining, or harassment, and over 85% recorded that unsatisfactory action was taken to address it. Although not previously recognised in UK vascular training, this has been reported in other specialties in Britain and internationally.

Experimental Visualization of Vascular Structures with Microsoft Hololens – Set-Up for Navigated Contrast Agent and Radiation-Sparing Endovascular Procedures (NAV-CARS EVAR)
Introduction - Over the last two decades, endovascular therapy has become an integral part of vascular surgery. One of the most difficulty in learning and performing this minimally invasive therapy is the fact, the vascular surgeon has to mentally overlay the three-dimensional vascular tree with the two-dimensional angiographic scene. While endovascular techniques are improving, the imaging during the procedure is still dependent on contrast agents and X-Rays with their known disadvantages. Looking at actual development trends towards radiation free localization of endovascular tools, the visualization and proper integrati...

Self-Perceived Comfort Performing Vascular Surgery Procedures Among Senior Vascular Surgery Trainees and Recent Graduates
: In the last two decades, vascular surgery training evolved from exclusively learning open skills to learning endovascular skills in addition to a functional reduction in training duration with 0+5 residency programs. The implications for this on trainee evolution to independence are unknown. We aimed to assess self-perceived comfort performing open and endovascular procedures and to identify predictors of high comfort among senior vascular surgery trainees and recent graduates.
