Prof. Resch and Dr. Raffort-Lareyre on aortic trials shaping modern practice

The PVI Trials Book is the go-to reference for vascular specialists navigating the rapidly evolving field of vascular and endovascular interventions. In this exclusive interview, Prof. Timothy Resch discusses with Dr. Juliette Raffort-Lareyre the aortic chapter and the key trials shaping clinical decisions today.

 

From standard infrarenal and thoracic aneurysms to complex repairs and arch interventions, the conversation highlights how endovascular strategies are increasingly becoming standard practice.

 

Featured studies include STAGED-FEVAR, focusing on staged repair of complex aneurysms; META-TAAA, comparing open versus endovascular approaches in thoracoabdominal aneurysms; SEXAAA, analysing why EVAR outcomes differ between men and women; and the much-debated UK-COMPASS trial on open versus endovascular repair outcomes.

 

This interview provides a concise overview of these pivotal studies and demonstrates why the Trials Book remains an indispensable guide for staying ahead in aortic care (among others!).
