"Vascular" is an adjective referring to the system of vessels for carrying blood (Oxford English Dictionary) - which means the Arteries and Veins.

Vascular Societies are groups of Doctors or Scientists who study the Vascular System - usually what goes wrong with it - and how to put it right.

In humans there are many specialists involved in treating patients with Vascular Disease - whether it be Varicose Veins, Leg Ulcers, Aneurysms, Claudication or rest pain of the Legs etc. These are often surgeons or interventional radiologists - however, there are specialist anaesthetists and other groups of professionals such as the Vascular Technologists and Vascular Nurses.

This web site lists relevant web sites for all of these groups as a service to both public and professionals who want to know more about vascular conditions or vascular societies in the UK, Europe or around the world.
