Abstract

Scarce knowledge of vascular rare diseases, defined by prevalence lower than 1/2000, is accompanied by increased patients mis-management and impaired quality of life. Recent advances in clinical knowledge, molecular biology, and genetic evaluation of certain vascular rare diseases allows designing new management strategies. A tight coordinated collaboration between angiologists and other specialists is therefore necessary to optimize patient's care.
