Vascular Surgery Residency (ACGME Accreditation
# 450-48-13-104)
Cardiovascular & Valve Surgery (Texas Medical Board Approved Fellowship
# 503-48-14-39)
 The
acquisition of the technical skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary
for the successful management of patients with complex vascular disorders
requires a high level of commitment and dedication from all involved
in the process. The University has a typical referral pattern of a tertiary
care center where very complex procedures are performed. The vascular
resident is exposed to a variety of complex vascular reconstructions,
involving various vascular beds, with cases involving a combined open
and endovascular
approach. The experience at the Memorial Hermann Hospital is rich in "bread-and-butter" vascular
cases as well as index cases, such as renal and visceral bypasses,
thoracoabdominal aneurysm, and re-do lower extremity reconstructions.
One of the strengths of the program is the combination of excellent
endovascular training and simultaneous extensive experience in complex
open vascular
surgery. For more details, consult the program's website.

Heidemann.
