Virtual vascular surgery interest group during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic
Early exposure to vascular surgery at the medical student level positively influences one ’s decision to apply into an integrated vascular surgery residency program. Vascular surgery interest groups (VSIGs) are student-run and aim to facilitate such exposure, traditionally via in-person events. Social distancing during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic disrupted these interactions. This is a description of the virtual activities of a VSIG group during the 2020-2021 academic year and highlights their impact among medical students.

Vascular e-Learning During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: The EL-COVID Survey
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has radically changed the possibilities for vascular surgeons and trainees to exchange knowledge and experience. An exponential growth of medical e-learning activities has produced a significant amount of data. The aim of the present survey is to take inventory of the e-learning needs of vascular surgeons and trainees, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of vascular e-learning, based on data produced during the pandemic.

National Cross-Sectional Epidemiological Analysis of the Impact of Pandemic COVID-19 on Vascular Procedures in Public Health System: 521,069 procedures over 4 years
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a dramatic increase in healthcare demand. Resources were redirected to care patients with COVID-19. Therefore, surgical treatments were affected, including those of vascular diseases. There are no studies evaluating the whole impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering all types of vascular procedures, both elective and urgent, in a large country. The aim of the present study was to analyze the impact on all types of vascular procedures performed in Brazilian public hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Creation of a vascular surgical Hub responding to the COVID-19 emergency: the italian USL Toscana Centro model
Spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy forced health facilities to drastically change their organization to face the overwhelming number of infected patients needing hospitalization. The USL (Unit à Sanitaria Locale) Toscana Centro adopted a protocol of reorganization of the Vascular Surgery Unit during the first difficult weeks of the epidemic, consisting in the creation of a Vascular Hub for urgent cases with a profound reorganization of activities, wards, surgical operators, operating blo cks and ICU beds.

Strategies and Recommendations for The Safe Implementation of Vascular Surgery During the Pandemic Period of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia
At present, the prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia (NCP, WHO named as COVID-19) pandemic is at a critical time. As of 7th April 2020, there are over 1.2million confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection1and 588 confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection in Beijing2. How to manage the vascular diseases properly and at the same time strictly prevent and control the pandemic represents a serious new challenge for vascular surgeons. The aim of this work is to assist our colleagues in the clinical practice during the coronavirus disease outbreak.

Vascular access in COVID-19 patients: Smart decisions for maximal safety.
Authors: Scoppettuolo G, Biasucci DG, Pittiruti M Abstract The 2020 COVID pandemic has forced everyone to update the usual medical procedures and adapt them to a new situation characterized by a high risk of contamination of the health operator. The placement of a venous access device is no exception. In the experience of the vascular access team of our hospital, hit by the COVID epidemic in March 2020, the safety of both the patient and the staff can be ensured by an insertion bundle of few smart strategies, which include choice of long dwelling peripheral catheters (midline catheters) rather than short venous can...

Routine in an Italian high-volume Vascular Surgery Unit during the COVID-19 era: how the pandemic changed the vascular daily practice
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused a worldwide public health emergency, affecting more than 150 countries [1] and Italy has been most notably impacted. The public health system had to face a completing unexpected challenge necessitating an abrupt restructuring of hospital structures. The Italian Ministry of Health gave the directive to defer every non-urgent surgical intervention, performing selectively urgent and oncological procedures. Guidelines were released for triage of non-emergent surgical procedures based on the Elective Surgery Acuity Scale (ESAS) that considers the majority of arterial v...

Experience from a Singapore tertiary hospital with restructuring a vascular surgery practice in response to national and institutional policies during the COVID-19 pandemic
Singapore was one of the first countries to be affected by COVID-19, with the index patient diagnosed on 23 January 2020. For two weeks in February, we had the highest number of COVID-19 cases behind China. In this article, we summarize the key national and institutional policies that were implemented in response to COVID-19. We also describe in detail, with relevant data, how our vascular surgery practice has changed due to these policies and COVID-19. We show that with a segregated team model, the vascular surgery unit can still function whilst reducing risk of cross-contamination.

A need for consensus on mortality reporting related to the COVID-19 pandemic in ongoing and future vascular registries and trials.
As the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to take more lives, quite a few of these will be from the vascular population3, typically older and with multiple comorbidities, recognised risk factors for COVID-19-related mortality4. Some such patients will be involved in ongoing vascular trials and registries.

Vascular Surgeon discomfort in a pandemic setting.
During Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, responsible of more than 230,000 confirmed cases and 34,000 deaths in Italy at the time of June 9, 1 surgical units have been stressed to maintain the service for urgent patients, irrespective of COVID-19 infection. In this time, all the patients presenting with vascular emergency are screened for COVID-19 with pharyngeal swab and consider as positive until further investigations and diagnosis. However, those patients who require urgent surgical vascular therapy are managed as COVID-19 positive and, consequently, operating room staff have to wear personal protective equipment...
