Clinical Study
Patient and Caregiver Perceptions of Family Wellbeing for Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery may be done to treat a wide range of people with heart and blood flow issues. Many patients with this procedure can be at risk for other health problems and are over the age of 65. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the needs of the family well-being of vascular surgery patients. This will help doctors better understand decision-making for the family's well-being. People in this study will complete a one-time interview and one-time questionnaires. The interview will be conducted over the phone. Participants will be given a total of $100 for completion of the interview and questionnaires at each time point before and after surgery
