Abstract
The management of vascular disease requires knowledge of clinical assessment, pharmacotherapeutics, endovascular procedures and vascular surgery. In Canada, interventional cardiology, vascular surgery, interventional radiology and neurosurgery specialists may be involved in the care of patients with vascular disease, and they all claim to have expertise and an advantage in treating specific patients. The present article identifies the sources of the potential 'turf war' in vascular medicine, and proposes some possible solutions through reorganization of vascular care, with particular reference to the modern era of Canadian medicine.
