Welcome to Part 3 of our ESVS Vascular Fundamentals series of podcasts. In the last two podcasts we concentrated on arterial haemodynamics; now it’s the turn of the venous system. In this episode, we look at what constitutes venous pressure and flow. How does blood flow in this low pressure system with what are effectively […]
Join us for the first of our series of Vascular Fundamentals podcasts. In our first episode, we will be breaking down the basics of arterial haemodynamics looking at the physiology of the circulation and how an understanding of it aids our decision making as vascular surgeons. We will attempt to explain the relationship between pressure, […]
In this podcast, Prof. Matthew Popplewell, lead investigator, discusses the BASIL-3 RCT, diving into the trial’s design, the recruitment challenges, the statistical power, and the relevance of its findings to current clinical practice.
