ERAS in Vascular Surgery – Setting Patients Up for Success (Part 1) In this episode, we’re joined by Prof. Kate McGinigle, vascular surgeon, researcher, and expert in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). We explore the role of ERAS protocols in optimising outcomes for vascular surgery patients, with a focus on preoperative risk assessment, nutritional support, […]
In Part 2 of our wound care series, we shift focus to what happens on the wound bed itself. From negative pressure therapy to advanced dressings and skin grafts – this episode is all about local treatment strategies. Our expert guests, dermatologist Dr. Magdalena Antoszewska and wound care nurse Kamila Mazuryk, walk us through practical […]
In a short series of podcasts, we are going to explore the evolving field of complex thoracic aortic repair, with a particular focus on complex endovascular devices implanted in the aortic arch or even the ascending aorta, that is, zones 0 to 2. In today’s episode, we are going to dig into proximal landing zone […]
In this thought-provoking episode of the ESVS Podcast we delve into an important and under-discussed issue in vascular surgery: Are women left behind in carotid stenosis treatment? Carotid stenosis is a contributor to ischemic strokes, and some papers show women may experience delays or suboptimal care in comparison to men. In this episode, we will […]
Join us for a compelling episode of the ESVS Podcast as we explore the sex disparities in aortic disease with two experts in aortic surgery in women — Dr. Carlota Fernandez-Prendes and Dr. Anna-Louise Pouncey. In this episode, we discuss why women remain under-represented in clinical trials, which subgroups may benefit most from targeted screening, […]
With today’s guests, Koen Vree Egberts and Desiree van Noord, we dive into this open-access paper. The study revealed that a stenosis exceeding 50% in the superior mesenteric (SMA) or inferior mesenteric artery on pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scan correlates with an elevated risk of anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery. These findings suggest the […]
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, […]
