Abstract

How is it possible that when talking about technological developments in surgery and specifically in endovascular surgery no one thinks that without the other sciences: engineers, physicists, ITs etc, we wouldnt have the evolution we have now?

Why is medicine separated from the rest of the campus and the society, when its the only business that affects 100% of the people on this planet? And in addition considering that the economical aspect has more than ever a starring role?

Remember: we are more than twice the population we were 50 years ago on the planet; therefore no one can be invisible in health.
