Best Vascular Programs?

[Guest]

M4 interested in open vascular (like everyone else, lol). What residencies should top my application list if this is my goal?

Not sure where you'd get great open vascular now. Barrow, Miami, UCSF, Jefferson, UW, Pitt, UCLA are the better vascular places.

open vascular continues to die as a field at an accelerating rate. im a chief resident at a program that does a lot of open vascular and love the cases also, but you can't realistically consider a career in open vascular in the traditional sense these days. Your two options are to be endo trained (which is the way to go), and/or try to be an all around skull base person which means primarily tumor and get a job at a shop without an open vascular paerson. I think it will be a while before avms are best treated endovascularly, but the number of aneurysms that need surgery is in the midst of going from few to almost none.

i sadly agree with this statement wholeheartedly. senior resident considering open vascular and skull base, but you realistically can't do vascular without being endo trained. all that radiation though...

Are bypasses really what we’re considering great cases anymore? Or are you talking about direct anastomosis
