Hi guys,
I'm going to be starting on vascular surgery as my first FY1 rotation. It's a speciality that wasn't taught much in medical school, nor did I have much experience on a vascular ward, so quite nervous about starting. Does anybody have any tips or advice about what to expect, or things I should read up on?

It'd be wise to revise the exams you do for peripheral arterial and venous disease, features of arterial and venous ulcers, and management of diabetes (a large number of vascular patients are diabetics) as well as the NICE guidelines for peripheral vascular disease/angiography.
Consider the implications of open vs endovascular aneurysm repair, including the difference between suprarenal and infrarenal stents, and therefore investigation and management of acute kidney injury post aneurysm repair. Spinal perfusion and spinal drains will be important if you work in a tertiary centre, as well as investigation and management of motor weakness post EVAR.

It depends a little on what sort of hospital you'll be in. Vascular in a DGH will be different to vascular in a tertiary centre that also covers cardiothoracics.

Anything you'd add to this for CT1 Vascular DGH with no prev vasc experience?
