Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. Vascular surgeons are specialists who are highly trained to treat diseases of the vascular system.

Interventional radiology is a medical subspecialty that performs various minimally-invasive procedures using medical imaging guidance such as x-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. An interventional radiologist carefully interprets these images to diagnose injury and disease, and to perform a range of interventional medical procedures.
