VIRginias VASCULAR Study Group

We are a group of hospitals and vascular specialists who have committed to collecting, sharing, and analyzing data related to vascular interventions and outcomes. Our goal is to encourage vascular surgeons practicing in the states of Virginia and West Virginia to improve the quality of their practices by meeting regularly to objectively review their procedure data, with an end goal of delivering the best vascular care to the patients we care for.
If you perform vascular surgery or other vascular interventions in our region, we encourage you to take the first steps in joining us the Virginias Vascular Study Group.
