In the past decade, impressive strides have been made in the diagnosis and management of atherosclerotic, aneurysmal, and thromboembolic diseases, thanks in large part to the explosive growth in both vascular biology and clinical vascular medicine. We review what we consider to be the top 12 advances in this field: the discovery of nitric oxide, the metabolic syndrome, new thrombophilic disorders, therapeutic angiogenesis, endoluminal treatment of chronic venous disease, and a variety of drugs, including sildenafil, cilostazol, low-molecular-weight heparins, oral direct thrombin inhibitors, clopidogrel, statins, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blocking agents.
