Core Tip Despite the well-established impact of psychological stress during the preoperative period on vascular surgery outcomes, it remains largely overlooked in everyday clinical practice. Psychological conditions such as anxiety, emotional instability, and maladaptive coping adversely affect hemodynamics, impair wound healing, and prolong recovery, whereas emotional stability and conscientiousness enhance adherence, patient satisfaction, and resilience. Integrating systematic psychological assessment, brief interventions, and strategies such as mindfulness or cognitive-behavioral therapy into preoperative care may provide a practical, low-cost approach to improving perioperative outcomes. This article emphasizes a holistic “mind–vessel” perspective, highlighting the translational potential of combining physiological and psychological optimization in vascular surgery.
