Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery integrates open and endovascular practice with major recent device approvals. The session covers TEVAR and EVAR durability at 15+ years (EUROSTAR-EUREC long-term registries), aortic dissection (IRAD registry), peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischaemia (paclitaxel-coated device safety post-FDA review), dialysis access (BEST-CLI study), carotid endarterectomy vs stenting (CREST-2 results), and complex aortic surgery (fenestrated, branched). Discussion addresses thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair, fenestrated vs branched endografts, mesenteric ischaemia interventional management, deep vein thrombosis catheter-directed therapy, workforce-development pipeline, and biodegradable vascular stents.
