Department of Surgery Fellowships Endovascular Fellowship The peripheral vascular surgery division offers a variable length fellowship, from one to three months, which provides comprehensive training in the full spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular procedures. Diagnostic angiography experience includes aortoiliac, renal/mesenteric, brachiocephalic/carotid, and upper and lower extremity vessels. Interventional experience includes balloon dilatation, stenting, endoluminal grafting of all peripheral vascular distributions, and any associated embolizations or thrombolysis. Numerous investigational protocols of new endoluminal devices and thrombolytic agents are in progress, offering you a wealth of investigational experience and opportunities to participate in evolving endovascular technologies. The overall volume of endovascular experience obtained is dependent upon the length of the fellowship, but the goal is to afford you the opportunity to meet the credentialing guidelines of the Society for Vascular Surgery. Length of Program: one to three months Total positions: One at any time Peripheral Vascular Fellowship The vascular surgery section offers a two-year peripheral vascular fellowship. Fellows must have completed an approved residency in general surgery and be board eligible or board certified. The first year concentrates on research and endovascular therapy while the second year is devoted to conventional vascular surgery.
