Join Audible Bleeding team Matthew Chia, Nitin Jethmalani, and Leana Dogbe and editors from the JVS family of publications Thomas Forbes and Gale Tang as we discuss two of the latest highlights in vascular research. First, we welcome Mary McDermott, MD to discuss the discordance between patient-reported outcomes and objective PAD measures in the latest episode of the JVS.  The episode finishes with a stimulating discussion with Alex Chan, PhD to discuss the effect of nicotine on angiogenesis in a murine model of PAD.
