Angiology and No Invasive Vascular Diagnostic Division

Angiology started in 2000 as a small laboratory and it grew to become a Division of Angiology in 2009. The Division of Vascular Surgery is on the same floor as Angiology making for better and more effective collaboration between the surgeons and angiologists. The Angiology staff is made up of three internist who are employed in Vascular Surgery, two  R. N. nurses and two nurses. There is one reception area for both Divisions. The surgeon has by his side an internist who helps in the preparation of patients before the operation and also in dealing with the recovery. The decision to employ Internists as part of the vascular team was at that time risky, but it turned out to be a good decision and in the following years it allowed for many important projects to develop in follow-up and prevention that probably never would have been done.
