Advances in vascular imaging.
The improvement of vascular imaging has allowed the acquisition of vascular images with higher resolution while minimizing the risks and discomfort to patients. As imaging developments continue to progress, establishment of valid clinical-based evidence, before the application of each innovation, will assure maintenance of the current trend. Also, as the vascular surgeon adopts a more comprehensive approach in the care of vascular patients, a high-quality endovascular suite will provide an environment for integration of both traditional open and evolving endovascular procedures.
