Office-based procedures have witnessed a veritable explosion with more than 10 million procedures being performed in the United States yearly. This is partially because of improvements in technology that allow these procedures to be performed safely in the office. However, as the number of procedures has increased, the reports of significant morbidity and mortality that have been appearing in the media have captured the public's attention. Until recently, this new and growing field has been largely unregulated. This is changing nationwide. The authors review the new regulations in New York State as a model of the future of this rapidly evolving field and their effect on vascular surgery office procedures.

Key Words: office-based surgery • vascular surgery • regulations for office-based surgery
