I am Consultant in Medical Biology at University Hospital of Nice and Chair holder of Artificial Intelligence for Integrative Computational Medicine at the 3IA Institute – Université Côte d’Azur, France.
My group focuses on applications of Artificial Intelligence for patients with vascular diseases. I am working on aid-decision support systems to enhance evidence-based decision and precision medicine through a translational approach including automatization of vascular imaging analysis, development of predictive models using machine learning and federation of vascular registries and national claims.
I am honored to have received several prestigious awards recognizing my contributions to research and innovation. These include the Prize of the French Academy of Medicine, the “Palmes de la Médecine”, the Prize of Excellence from Université Côte d’Azur, and the Prize “Women Engineer in Artificial Intelligence”.

Vascular and endovascular surgery consultant in Hospital Universitario de Cruces (Bilbao - Spain) since 2010. MY department is considered a first-line unit in the endovascular management of CLTI (particularly in the BTK-BTA segments).
I developed my Vascular Fellowship Programme in Hospital Universitario Doce de Octubre (Madrid) and, thereafter, completed my training with short stages in Hospital du Nord - St Etienne (France), Universitäs Spital - Zurich (Switzerland), and St Franziskus Hospital - Münster (Germany).
For the last ten years, my activity has been mainly focused in the endovascular treatment of the lower limb, routinely performing complex CTO revascularisations, including any sort of bi-directional accesses, trans-collateral approaches, plantar loops or venous arterialisations.
I am also a reviewer of the Critical Limb ischaemia Journal, Journal of Endovascular Therapy, and Annals of Vascular Surgery since 2024.
My unit has presented multiple communications in well-recognised international symposiums, and has published many papers in first-line journals of my speciality.
Dr. Ysa has been a vascular and endovascular surgery consultant at Hospital de Cruces (Barakaldo, Spain) since 2003. His department is a well-recognised center for the endovascular management of CLTI patients. He completed his vascular fellowship at Hospital del Mar (Barcelona, Spain), and further advanced his training through short clinical stays at Montefiore Hospital (with Dr. F. Veith, New York, USA) and Houston Methodist Hospital (Texas, USA).
In 2006, he became a Fellow of the European Board of Vascular Surgery, and in 2011, he joined St Mary’s Hospital (London, UK) as a Senior Specialist Registrar.
Over the past ten years, his work has focused primarily on the endovascular treatment of lower limbs. He currently serves as co-director of his department’s complex BTK/BTA revascularisation unit. Since 2008 and 2019, respectively, he has also been a reviewer for the Annals of Vascular Surgery and the Journal of Endovascular Therapy.
His unit has presented numerous communications at leading international symposia and published extensively in top-tier journals within the specialty. In 2020, his video titled “Proximal venous arterialisation using conventional off-the-shelf devices” received the award for Most Innovative Video at the European Society for Vascular Surgery Masterclass.
I am Diego Ruiz Chiriboga, 45 years old, and I have been working as a vascular and endovascular surgery consultant at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, Spain, since 2013. I furthered my training with short clinical stays at St Mary’s Hospital in London with Dr. Richard Gibbs in 2013, and at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan in 2020 with Dr. Luca Bertoglio and Prof. Roberto Chiesa.
I am also an active member of the Spanish Society of Vascular Surgery.
In recent years, my practice has been mainly focused on open and endovascular treatments, particularly for aortic pathologies.
I am Consultant and Head of the Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at the hospital of Antibes, south of France.
My research focuses on the applications of Artificial intelligence in Vascular Surgery and my work in the field was rewarded by an Academic Award of the French National Academy of Medicine and by a Prize of Excellence from Université Côte d’Azur.
I am fellow of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS), the French representative of VASCUNET-ESVS, Committee member of the European Research Hub -ESVS and Associate Editor of the EJVES VF.
Member of the French and European Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, I am actively involved in developing multicenter national and international studies to improve the management of vascular diseases.

I am a Professor of Vascular Surgery with an interest in clinical and translational research, especially major randomised trials. At the same time, I have a clinical interest in peripheral revascularisation with a focus on complex endovascular and hybrid procedures. I perform a large volume of limb salvage procedures, using all latest relevant endovascular technologies. I am also the Vascular Surgery RCS (Royal College of Surgeons) Specialty Lead (England).
I received a prestigious National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Advanced Fellowship in 2019 in order to conduct research relating to cardiovascular risk management of individuals with aortic aneurysms and vascular disease. My research has been funded (>£20 million) by the NIHR, Academy of Medical Sciences, British Heart Foundation, Royal College of Surgeons, and several industry partners. I currently lead a number of large randomised trials and major applied research projects (mostly NIHR-funded). I was awarded a Hunterian Professorship in 2020 on the subject of renal dysfunction in vascular patients. I previously led the Vascular and Endovascular Research Network (VERN), establishing it as a major clinical research delivery network globally. I am also one of the founders of the global "Research Collaborative for Peripheral Arterial Disease".
I am based in the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre and Department of Cardiovascular Sciences (University of Leicester). Prior to my current academic appointment, I completed my higher surgical training in Birmingham (West Midlands), Leicester, and London, funded by the NIHR throughout my training; I also completed a number of visiting/travel fellowships outside the UK as part of my endovascular training in high volume centres, in Europe and the USA.
