America's Best Vascular Surgeons 2024
Vascular surgery, which involves procedures upon a patient's blood vessels, is relatively common in the U.S.
Nonprofit academic medical center Cleveland Clinic reports that U.S. vascular surgeons perform more than 100,000 surgeries and procedures annually. These interventions can repair damage to blood vessels or treat conditions like blood clots, varicose veins, peripheral artery disease or aortic aneurysms. The procedures can potentially be lifesaving.
To assist patients in the search for the right vascular surgeon, Newsweek is partnering with data intelligence platform Statista to release the first annual ranking of America's Best Vascular Surgeons, which recognizes the country's leading 200 vascular surgeons.
The list was compiled using physician performance data from Medicare that was gathered by clinical analytics provider CareJourney, as well as an online survey of medical experts, a quality-of-care score from peers of each surgeon and consideration of their American Board of Surgery certifications. Only surgeons in the 20 states with the highest number of practicing physicians were eligible for consideration.
Finding the right vascular surgeon is crucial to a wide variety of patients. Individuals who need blood vessel access for dialysis, surgery to improve carotid arteries or an operation to restore blood flow, just for example, will all find assistance with this ranking.
