re outpatient settings suitable for most vein-related pro-
cedures? From venograms and venoplasty to
angiograms and angioplasty, the answer is an emphatic
yes. With the right training, the right equipment, the
right staff and the right space, vascular surgeons and
interventionists — especially those trained in the last 10 or 15 years
— should be able to handle the vast majority of vein-related proce-
dures without ever needing to hospitalize patients. And thanks to
many specially focused fellowships and residencies, the number of
practitioners with the needed skill set is growing.
