In this episode, with Prof. Tilo Kölbel, we discuss the significant risks associated with air embolism during aortic surgery, the innovative technique of CO2 flushing of aortic endografts, and the practical tips and tricks of implementing this technique in clinical practice. The conversation also touches on current guidelines and the future of CO2 flushing in endovascular protocols, emphasising its potential to improve patient outcomes. Unmissable!
