Dialysis access is the most common vascular procedure in the U.S. —36 x more frequent than AAA repair.

Training needs to reflect that reality. Illig et make a compelling case for how — well worth a read.

In warm memory of Professor Janet T. Powell

The European Society of Vascular Surgery is deeply saddened by the news that Professor Janet Powell died on 2nd March 2025.

Professor Powell, Professor of Vascular Biology & Medicine at Imperial College, was a brilliant scientist, a compassionate mentor and a dedicated trial investigator whose focus on patient care was always at the forefront of her work. Her fundamental belief in the importance of seeking the best possible outcomes for patients was a pivotal part of so many of the research projects and clinical trials she expertly led.

A key member of the ESVS AAA Guidelines Writing Committee, former Chair of the EVSJL Board of Directors and a long-standing member of the Society, it gave us immense pleasure to have dedicated an Honorary Lecture to this remarkable individual in a number of editions of our Annual Meeting.

Professor Powell will be missed greatly by so many in our community and we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones.

Huge thanks to Fabrizio Fanelli and his whole team for another (3rd) fantastic meeting and kind invitation

[ESVS @ESVSmembership]

During the ESVS Annual Meeting in Kraków, we had the lovely opportunity to exchange with @drflaviag and @robi_brambi , 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 first part of this discussion, we discuss pre-operative planning, and patient selection and assessment.

Are you a vascular nomad? 🎒

If you've moved around, from country to country, during your training or your career - you might be a vascular nomad like Carlota and Vaiva!

You might relate to their experiences in this first podcast from the #ESVS2024 series - podcasts recorded live from the ESVS Annual Meeting in Kraków!
