Abstract

In developed countries more than 50% of deaths are thought to be due to vascular diseases. Early diagnosis of vascular problem allows to prevent strokes, myocardial infarctions and tragic sequelae of lower limbs ischemia. Duplex-doppler technique seems to be essential in evaluation of veins and arteries and has reached such a degree of accuracy that it is possible to resignate from preoperative angiography in certain pathologies. Modern methods of treatment of vascular diseases do not confine to the constant improvement of surgical technique but they rather mean the use of non-invasive diagnostic laboratory and endovascular procedures.
These procedures are performed by radiologists or a team including a surgeon. Endovascular methods are thought to be less harmful for the patient than classic operation so they play more and more important role in vascular treatment.
Late results of these procedures have not been assessed to the end but one must always remember that every moment endovascular procedure may require conversion to open surgery. That is why we state that endovascular treatment should be performed by a team of specialists consisting of a phisician, a radiologist and a surgeon.
