Background: The ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is considered a major public concern and has resulted in a huge burden on health care. We hereby provide a brief review for vascular surgeons regarding COVID-19 clinical issues, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment approaches.
Methods: We review the international society’s guidance on managing vascular interventions during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Results: This work provides summarized descriptions of how to manage and deal with vascular surgery cases at time of COVID-19 outbreak, including measures at outpatient clinic, emergency room, and operations.
Conclusions: Although vascular surgeons are not considered to be the front line in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, certain measures, detailed in this work, can be adopted in their practice during this period to control and lessen the spread of the disease.
