Join us for another interview with Prof. Dr. Carl M. Wahlgren and Prof. Dr. Lazar B. Davidovic, two of the writers of the Vascular Trauma Guidelines Committee. This episode focuses on the paediatric vascular trauma, but also overall gaps in the knowledge and the patient perspective.

This is Part 4 of our Vascular Trauma Guideline Series, Enjoy!

Join us for an interview with two of the writers of the vascular trauma guideline committee, focusing on the extremity and abdominal sections. This is Part 3 of our Vascular Trauma Guideline Series. Enjoy!

Join us for an interview with the minds behind the new vascular trauma guidelines: Professors Pirkka Vikatmaa and Jean-Baptise Ricco share the thought processes behind the Neck and Thorax sections. This is Part 2 of our Vascular Trauma Guideline Series, Enjoy!

Here is Part 1 in our podcast series focussing on the recently published ESVS Vascular Trauma Guidelines, the first of its kind. Join us today for a personal Q&A session with the chairs of the writing committee, Professors Carl Wahlgren and Karim Brohi, themselves for an in depth look at section 2 of the guidelines: General considerations in vascular trauma. We discuss who should perform vascular trauma, what is the role of endovascular trauma, and how does the new ESVS vascular trauma classification system work, and much more.

Enjoy!

Join us for this week’s Editor’s Choice Article about ‘Machine Learning Based Prediction of Post-operative Infrarenal Endograft Apposition for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms' (Nov 2024 EJVES). We are honoured to have the first author Dr. van Veldhuizen join us for an in depth discussion of the paper, explaining the intricacies of the model and what this research could mean for future automated preoperative aortic planning.

This paper explores whether machine learning techniques can improve the prediction of arteriovenous access survival and avoid failures in patients transitioning from central venous catheters to arteriovenous fistulas or grafts. It was published as an Editor’s choice paper in EJVES November 2024.

During the ESVS Annual Meeting in Kraków, we had the lovely opportunity to exchange with Flavia Gentile and Roberta Brambilla, respectively the former and current ESVS Academy Pathway Leads for Dialysis.

Together, we dig deeper into the gaps of evidence in vascular access obstruction. In this second part of this discussion.

In today's podcast, Laurence Bertrand and Suzanne Stokmans dissect this multicentre observational study from Japan recently published in the EJVES looking at infra popliteal revascularisation in CLTI. This study focuses on choosing the appropriate target lesion to achieve infrapopliteal revascularisation. They compare targeting in line flow to the wound based on personalised angiograms as opposed to in line flow to the foot based on the traditional angiosome concept.
