Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program

Second Year

During the second year of the program, the resident will perform as operative surgeon a wide variety of both endovascular and open vascular surgical cases. Our program performs over 1200 operations per year. The resident will be closely involved with the pre- and post-operative care of each patient. In addition, the resident will see patients in the outpatient setting. 

The program at AGH offers experience with the entire spectrum of vascular surgery cases, including routine and complex arterial surgery, open and endovascular surgery, hemodialysis access, and venous interventions.
