Quality care of vascular surgery patients extends to the post-operative coordination of care and the long-term surveillance, including the medical management of vascular disease. This is particularly highlighted in contemporary modern vascular surgery practice as tremendous focus is being placed on post-operative adverse events and hospital readmissions. The purpose of this review is to provide a contemporary perspective of transitions of care at discharge and long-term surveillance recommendations after vascular surgery interventions.
