Here is the second podcast of our BEST CLI Trial Q&A series, which we recorded live during the 2023 ESVS Annual Meeting in Belfast with PIs Alik Farber and Matt Menard. In this podcast, we dig deeper into the technical failure rate of endovascular treatment and anatomical disease patterns within the trial and how they impact the interpretation of the results and our everyday clinical practice. Enjoy, and more to come soon.

During the 2023 ESVS Annual Meeting in Belfast we sat down with PIs of the BEST CLI trial, Drs. Alik Farber and Matt Menard, to dig deeper into the interpretation of the results of this landmark trial. That conversation has become a series of 3 Q&A podcasts, of which this is the first. Find out in what patients the trial results are applicable and so we should look out for in our everyday clinical practice.

One of our last live recorded podcasts from #ESVS2023 Annual Meeting in Belfast has been very special to our team – we had the pleasure to talk with three amazing female vascular role models: Dr. Tara Mastracci, Prof. Alison Halliday, and Prof. Palma Shaw. We focused on equality, inclusivity, and many other challenges in vascular surgery, especially for female physicians. We welcome you to share your thoughts after the podcast, join the European Female Vascular Surgeons group, and stay engaged with ESVS activities because, in the upcoming year, ESVS will present some new projects that will focus on the issues mentioned above and try to increase diversity in the ESVS.

In this week’s podcast, we aim to invite vascular surgeons to join a great team of young researchers- the European Vascular Research Collaborative (EVRC), who managed to unite many European Centers together to produce high-quality research. Together with Dr. Alexandra Gratl, Dr. Florian Enzmann, and Dr. Leszek Kukulski, we briefly discuss current activities as well as past, present, and future projects. Regardless of your previous research experience, we encourage you all to reach out to the EVRC team, share your ideas, and join the forces.
