Vascular surgeon: Traditionally vascular surgeons are specific experts in the diagnosis and treatment of non cardiac atherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease. Although a number of other specialties (e.g. cardiology, IR) may provide some similar components treatment, a modern vascular surgeon provides a comprehensive medical, endovascular and surgical approach to this disease entity.
