The Duke Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program includes training in open surgical techniques endovascular techniques, diagnostic modalities (MR, CT, ultrasound, and PVRs), and related fields (cardiology, hematology, interventional radiology).

The curriculum is structured in an integrated fashion, with both first and second-year fellows rotating on clinical services at the Durham VA hospital and the University Hospital, and elective months focusing on vascular imaging, venous disease, complex dialysis access, and endovascular intervention.

Our graduates have gone on to very successful careers in both academic and private practices, and we are committed to training the most technically proficient and thoughtful vascular specialists in the country.

Thank you for your interest in the Duke University Vascular Fellowship program, which we feel represents the most comprehensive exposure to clinical vascular surgery that you will find anywhere.  

Our Division of Vascular Surgery has a very high volume of cases in all the major areas of modern vascular surgical practice including open aortic reconstruction, branched aortic endografting, carotid endarterectomy and stenting, complex open and endovascular limb salvage, central venous reconstruction and vein ablation techniques, and treatment of arteriovenous malformations. 

Our fellows are the center of our clinical practice and run the Vascular Surgery services at the VA and the University Hospital. They far surpass the required number of cases in all categories and have a degree of autonomy that prepares our graduates for independent practice.
