Vascular clinical research plays a vital role in transforming innovative ideas into meaningful treatments. It serves as the bridge between groundbreaking discoveries and real-world patient outcomes. For many community-based vascular specialists, participating in clinical trials has long been a challenge—one that Vascular Breakthroughs was founded to address.

A Mission Born from a Practice-Based Need

In 2012, Dr. Paul J. Gagne launched Vascular Breakthroughs with one clear goal: build a scalable and accessible clinical research infrastructure for vascular physicians working outside of academic settings. At the time, most vascular clinical trials were centralized in large academic institutions, leaving experienced surgeons in outpatient practices excluded from participating.

Vascular Breakthroughs was created to change this dynamic by bringing research opportunities directly to the physicians and patients who need them most. The result is a more equitable, efficient, and impactful model for vascular innovation.

Why Vascular Clinical Research Is So Important

Vascular diseases such as peripheral artery disease, aneurysms, and chronic venous disorders affect millions of people annually. With advancements in endovascular technologies, imaging, and minimally invasive procedures, the field is evolving rapidly. However, without robust clinical trials, these innovations remain theoretical.

Key Reasons Clinical Research in Vascular Medicine Matters:

• Accelerates Innovation
  Validates new therapies, devices, and techniques for broader adoption.
• Improves Patient Access
  Enables patients to receive novel treatments not yet widely available.
• Elevates Practice Standards
  Keeps physicians up to date with the latest advances in vascular care.
• Expands Medical Knowledge
  Provides diverse, real-world data that supports generalizable outcomes.
