Although the fundamentals of Endovascular Surgery were set down over 30 years ago, only recently has the potential impact of this therapy become readily apparent. Endovascular therapies with new instrumentation for the treatment of arterial aneurysms, occlusions, trauma, and venous thrombotic disorders have progressed dramatically over the past 5 years. Guidewire and catheter techniques for endovascular instrumentation of vessels have also been shown to compliment standard vascular surgical interventions. The need for vascular surgeons to obtain the knowledge and professional skills to perform wire and catheter techniques is essential to convert the professional "threat" of endovascular surgery to a future of "opportunity."
尽管血管内手术的基础在30多年前就已奠定，但直到最近，这种治疗方法的潜在影响才变得显而易见。在过去5年中，用于治疗动脉瘤、血管闭塞、创伤和静脉血栓性疾病的新型血管内治疗器械取得了巨大进展。血管内器械置入的导丝和导管技术也已被证明可辅助标准的血管外科手术干预。血管外科医生掌握实施导丝和导管技术的知识和专业技能，对于将血管内手术的职业“威胁”转化为未来的“机遇”至关重要。
