ABSTRACT
We are rapidly approaching the 2-year anniversary since Vascular Surgery became a distinct speciality in surgery. Dr Chan addressed the importance of the subspeciality Vascular Nurse as an essential partner in modern vascular service. Dr Pang reviewed his 3-year results of advanced endovascular interventions for high-grade Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus-Class D (TASC-D) femoropopliteal inventions, and compared patency and clinical outcomes with the traditional bypass operations.
