Charles Darwin and Vascular Surgery
Darwin’s theory of evolution represents one of the landmark intellectual revolutions of human history. He proposed that organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable traits. A closer look at the evolution of vascular surgery during the past fifty years makes one believe that Darwin’s theory of natural selection is truly applicable to the ever-evolving field of Vascular Surgery.
It was not until 1982 when the first ever Certificate of Special Qualifications in General Vascular Surgery was issued to Dr. Edwin J. Wylie. Before being recognized as an individual surgical specialty, vascular operations were routinely performed by general surgeons or cardiothoracic…

New study shows COVID-19 causes severe blood vessel damage
The study was conducted by an international team of medical scientists who compared the lungs of patients who died from COVID-19 with lungs of patients who died from influenza as well as with healthy lungs donated for transplantation. The researchers discovered an unexpected disease pattern in COVID-19 lungs: the virus invaded the endothelial cells, and this was accompanied by blood clots. Compared to the flu, COVID-19 lungs had 9-fold more blood clots and the blood vessels were injured by the virus causing an unusual reaction of blood vessel growth.
