The European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (EJVES) has achieved a record Journal Impact Factor of 8.5, reflecting the growing influence of its research and its continued role as a trusted source of evidence for the global vascular community.
As healthcare professionals in vascular surgery and vascular medicine, keeping up with the latest evidence is essential. New techniques emerge, treatment pathways evolve, and research continues to shape we care for patients.
For clinicians, researchers, and trainees alike, trusted sources of evidence play a vital role in helping navigate these developments. They provide insight into emerging data, support evidence-based decision-making, and help translate research into better patient care.
The latest Journal Impact Factors offer one indication of how widely research is being read, cited and discussed across the scientific community. This year, the results highlight the growing influence of research published in the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (EJVES), the flagship scientific journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS).

A Record Year for EJVES
The European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery has achieved a record Journal Impact Factor of 8.5, the highest in the journal’s history.
The result represents a substantial increase from 6.8 in 2024 and continues a strong upward trajectory that has seen the journal’s influence grow steadily over recent years.
While no single metric can fully capture the value of a journal, citations provide an indication of how research is being used. Articles are cited because they inform future studies, contribute to systematic reviews, support guideline development and help advance clinical understanding.
The latest result reflects the growing reach and relevance of research published in EJVES, as well as the confidence that the vascular community places in the journal.
