Peripheral Vascular Disease

As per available reports about 40 journals,10 Conferences, 8 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Peripheral vascular disease and about 280 articles are being published on the current trends in Peripheral vascular disease. Peripheral vascular disease commonly referred to as peripheral artery disease or peripheral artery occlusive disease or peripheral obliterative arteriopathy, refers to the obstruction of large arteries. But, these do not include the ones present in the heart, aortic arch vasculature or brain. Peripheral vascular disease can be caused due to atherosclerosis, stenosis a thrombus or embolism formation. It may cause either chronic or acute ischemia or lack of blood supply. Usually peripheral vascular disease is used to refer to blockages in the lower extremity which is atherosclerotic.

The Journal of Vascular Medicine and Surgery is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer of open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Peripheral vascular disease. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Vascular Medicine and Surgery provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Peripheral vascular disease, thus, bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences is organizing 3rd International Conference on Surgery and Anesthesia, supported by Journal of Vascular Medicine & Surgery during November 17-19 2014, Chicago-North Shore, USA with the theme of “An aggregation of surgeons for the advancement in Surgery and Anesthesia”.
