?:abstract	Introduction The new SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is been spreading fast and fiercely across the world from China since December 2019, causing massive lockdowns and pushing health services to their limits with new challenges. Vascular surgery departments are no exception and Vascular societies across the world issued some guidance through these turbulent times, resulting all together in surgery reduction and surgeons\' reallocations. Objectives As expected, this impacts vascular trainees and their training and so, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact o COVID-19 pandemic on vascular education. Materials and Methods A remote digital survey was spread across European networks aiming vascular residents and their activities during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave. Questions were related to possible trainee relocations, COVID-19 infections, daily activities reduction, scientific activity, exams and internships. Results reported here are from 7th July to 20th September. Duplicate responses were removed. Results A total of 104 answers across 27 countries were included. The mean age of the trainee\'s responders were 31.2 ± 3.58 years old, 63% were male and the residency year mode was the 5th. Forty-four (42.3%) of the trainees stood in the COVID- 19 frontline, of which were mainly for COVID-19 wards (50%) and emergency departments (22.1%), with only two (1.9%) being relocated to a different hospital. Concerning time in the frontline, the most frequent answers were up to two weeks in 34.8% and above 12 weeks in 28.8%. More than half (76.9%) said to had suffer a decrease in number of surgical procedures performed and/or assisted with over 60% reporting a decrease superior to 50%. Annual or final exams were re-schedule or cancelled for 16.3% and 10.6% of the participants, respectively. Of the responders, 56.7% as stated to have operated COVID- 19 positive patients at the time of the survey. Six responders (5.8%) had said to have themselves being infected by COVID-19 while 63.5% answer to have had medical staff infected in their vascular departments. Accordingly, to the survey, 73.5% claims that the first COVID-19 pandemic wave had a negative impact on vascular education and 73.4% agrees for the need of \'some compensation\' on their vascular residency curriculum. Conclusions The first COVID-19 pandemic wave brough a significant negative impact on vascular education with more than 50% of the responders suggesting a need for compensation after this period. However, as a second wave is emerging, this negative impact is expected to increase even more significantly.
