Thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases: an interview with Dr Nana and Prof. Haulon

In this PVI online exclusive interview, Prof. Haulon speaks with Dr Nana about the key messages of their PCR Textbook chapter, “Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Diseases”, co-authored with Robert G. Aru.

From moving beyond maximum aortic diameter when assessing risk to individualising treatment strategies for complex aortic pathologies, Dr Nana discusses the evolving role of fenestrated and branched endovascular technologies alongside open repair.
She also highlights the importance of meticulous procedural planning, spinal cord protection and lifelong aortic surveillance.

Throughout the interview, Dr Nana explains how the latest European guidelines are reshaping clinical decision-making, while emphasising that the ultimate goal remains the same: the right treatment for the right patient, with a plan for lifelong aortic care.
