The European Society for Vascular Surgery was founded and inaugurated on May 6, 1987 in London. This inaugural meeting was attended by Presidents or Representatives of almost all the National Vascular Societies in Europe, who supported the formation and aims of the ESVS.

The Officers and Members of the Council were proposed and elected, ensuring a satisfactory representation from various European countries. It was further agreed that the Society would generally meet in September each year. The Society has grown enormously since and has now over 3000 members, mostly European, but many from other parts of the world.

The German Society for Vascular Surgery was established in 1984 during a conference in Munich. It successfully advocated for vascular surgery to be recognized as a distinct field in medical training. Over the years, it strengthened bonds with Austrian and Swiss colleagues, leading to joint conferences and the creation of the "three-country conference." The society also founded the "Vascular Surgery" magazine in collaboration with Austrian and Swiss counterparts. It initiated a certification program for vascular centers, organized the first National Vascular Day in 2005, and established the Private Academy DGG gGmbH for further training. In 2010, it expanded its name to include vascular medicine. The society continues to grow in membership and welcomes contributions from all interested parties.
