The Malmö Aortic Endovascular Research and Clinical Fellowship

The Malmö Vascular Center at Skåne University Hospital is a unique tertiary referral centre
for southern Sweden with vast and long experience in complex endovascular aortic surgery.
The Vascular Center is also integrated within The Department of Cardiac Surgery with whom
regular multidisciplinary conferences are held.

The Malmö Endovascular Aortic Fellowship is primarily a research fellowship but is also
combined with a range of supervised vascular and endovascular clinical activities. The
program is designed for vascular trainees or recently graduated specialists with a specific
interest in aortic pathology. Duties of the aortic fellow include active participation in research
projects which are designed (and expected) to lead to presentation of results at international
meeting(s) and publication in scientific journal(s). On the clinical side, the fellow will be
involved in all aspects of management of a wide range and complexity of aortic pathologies
including assessment, planning, surgical repair (endovascular and open) and clinical followup.
The fellowship is primarily directed to international applicants. Knowledge of Swedish is

fund of knowledge in basic open and endovascular techniques. Experience in research is
particularly useful and desired in applicants. Registration with the Swedish National Board of
Health and Welfare is not mandatory but will allow the fellow to fully participate in all aspects
of the program.

The fellowship length is 6 to 12 months with a flexible start date.
The successful applicant will receive financial support from the MURA Foundation supported
by Prof. Krassi Ivancev to assist with living and traveling expenses.
