Vascular trainee perceptions of diversity, equity, and inclusion within United States vascular surgery training programs.

Objectives: Vascular surgery training programs face multiple pressures, including attracting and retaining trainees. Current knowledge of trainees' views with respect to diversity and equity in vascular training programs is limited. We sought to understand United States vascular surgery trainees' perceptions and expectations regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus infection is associated with advanced presentation and perioperative mortality in patients undergoing surgery for peripheral arterial disease.

Objective: Prior studies have demonstrated an increased risk of developing cardiovascular and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the effect of chronic HIV infection in patients with preexisting PAD and requiring vascular intervention is unclear. In the present study, we assessed the differences in clinical presentation and perioperative outcomes for patients with PAD who had undergone revascularization or amputation with and without HIV infection.

Rupture is the most devastating complication, and is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. For this reason, elective repair is preferable in the appropriately chosen patient.
