The department has led 2 National Natural Science Foundation of China projects, 2 Liaoning Provincial Natural Science Foundation projects, and 1 Dalian Medical Science Research Plan project; won 1 First Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress of Dalian City; published more than 40 SCI-indexed articles; and achieved a cumulative impact factor of 110+.

The department currently performs more than 1,200 operations annually, including approximately 120 major aortic operations and more than 500 lower-extremity arterial operations. Both the scale of treatment and the number of cases rank first in Dalian. While preserving the advantages of traditional open vascular surgery, the Department of Vascular Surgery of the Second Hospital Affiliated with Dalian Medical University is one of the leading centers for endovascular surgery in Liaoning Province and even in Northeast China. It has vigorously developed endovascular treatment technologies and actively carried out aortic stent chimney techniques, fenestration techniques, and various hybrid surgical techniques. Open surgery and endovascular treatment complement each other, greatly improving the success rate and safety of vascular surgery. The department ranks among the leading centers in the three northeastern provinces in terms of multiple indicators, including surgical success rate, complication rate, and cure rate.

The diagnostic and treatment scope covers various thoracic/abdominal aortic diseases, carotid artery diseases, peripheral arterial diseases, and various venous system diseases. By integrating surgical and endovascular treatment approaches, the department advances the minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases in Liaoning Province. Rapid recovery rehabilitation therapy is incorporated throughout the entire diagnostic and treatment process, greatly shortening patients’ recovery time. Throughout its many years of development, the department has consistently used cutting-edge technologies as a breakthrough, focusing on tracking and applying the latest international and domestic technologies. It pursues rapid departmental development through new technologies, thereby strengthening its technical capabilities and establishing a leading position in China.

Following rapid development over the past several years, the Department of Vascular Surgery of the Second Hospital Affiliated with Dalian Medical University has reached an advanced national level in minimally invasive endovascular treatment and is now a minimally invasive vascular center featuring a multidisciplinary integration model.
