Abstract

Vascular surgeons encounter a myriad of complications during the management of patients. The complications that occur associated with vascular surgery are often life threatening. Vascular surgeons have played a pioneering role in the development and introduction of new vascular and endovascular techniques, and some of the techniques changed the therapeutic options available for patients with vascular disease. Especially, with the development of endovascular surgery, there has been substantial change in the management of most vascular diseases and their complications. The best way to manage complications is to prevent them from occurring by careful planning, appropriate patient selection, extensive operator experience, and the correct use of appropriate devices. Successful operation outcomes depend on avoiding complications, as well as recognizing and promptly managing complications when they occur. This article reviews various local complications and their management in the field of vascular and endovascular surgery.
