Endovascular therapy has become increasingly popular in treating a variety of vascular disorders that have traditionally been the sole realm of open vascular surgery. These procedures, which many vascular surgeons have adopted as an integral part of their practices, are performed via a percutaneous approach with catheter-based techniques and fluoroscopic imaging. This report summarizes the experience of the Vascular Surgery group in Greenville, South Carolina after the development of a dedicated program in endovascular surgery and addresses some of the important issues that affect the contemporary practice of vascular surgery in the United States.
