Dr. Vasquez Awarded Research-In-Practice Grant
by the American College of Phlebology
The American College of Phlebology recently awarded the 2009 Research-In-Practice Grant to Dr. Michael Vasquez of the Venous Institute of Buffalo. The Research-In-Practice Grant is designed to assist clinical phlebologists in initiating a clinical research project of importance to the field of phlebology. The long-term intent of this program is to foster the research education and development of clinical phlebologists who are capable of active participation in and/or leadership of clinical trials of phlebological therapies.
This grant provides funding for one year for a project focusing on the development and advancement of topics in phlebology.
Through funding provided by the Research-In-Practice Grant, Dr. Vasquez will conduct a trial to validate quality of life and venous severity scoringassessment instruments for their usefulness in patients undergoing treatment for venous disease.
Review some of the many research papers and other publications authored by or having contributions by Dr. Vasquez.
- The utility of the venous clinical severity score in 682 limbs treated by radiofrequency saphenous ablation (Journal of Vascular Surgery 2007; 45:1008-15)
- AV Forum, Spring 2007 issue
- Dr. Vasquez is pleased to announce the acceptance of our Review article entitled "Venous Clinical Severity Score and Quality-of-Life Assessment Tools: Application to Vein Practice" Phlebology 23(6):259-75.
- Please Note: Some patients may be contacted in the post procedure period by a Research Assistant to provide new information on their particular outcome.
