Meet the PVI Social Media Team 2026!
A new year, new faces, and the same enthusiasm to bring you to the heart of the Paris Vascular Insights Course!
For PVI 2026, a renewed Social Media Team of engaged and connected vascular specialists will share key moments, expert interviews and exclusive behind-the-scenes content throughout the Course.
Beyond the live event, the team will also contribute all year round to enrich PVI online with educational and scientific vascular content.
Discover the team members and follow the conversation with the official hashtag #PVI26!
I am vascular and endovascular surgeon graduated for more than 10 years in São Paulo - Brazil. Then, I decided to do Fellowships: Albany Medical Center and Southwestern Medical Center both in USA, finally at Flanders Medical Research Program in Belgium.
Member of vascular group at Rede D’or and Americas Hospital, Head of Vascular Department at Saint Nicholas Hospital.
On active actuation from carotid, aorta-iliac, visceral, PAD to venous and fistulas. Down here is not common to be reference for just one segment/ topic.
Also interested on discussions to improve knowledge for treatments and technologies to benefit patients outcome.
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.
Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon in "Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Bianchi-Melacrino-Morelli" of Reggio Calabria, Italy.
I developed my Vascular Fellowship Programme in the University of Messina (Sicily-Italy) from 2007 to 2012 and then I obtained my PhD in the same University in 2016.
I worked as Vascular Surgeon in the Hospital of Taranto (Puglia-Italy) and from January 2019, I'm working in Reggio Calabria.
I published many papers as author and co-author in first-line journals of my speciality and I reviewed many papers for Annals Vascular Surgery, Journal Endovascular Therapy and Frontiers in Vascular Surgery.
I'm member of the Italian Society of Vascular Surgery (SICVE) and I'm involved in multicenter national studies about vascular diseases.
I decided to join the PVI Social Media Team because I think it is an important initiative to involve the entire Community of Vascular Surgeons in a very prestigious congress event, also younger Surgeons.
I’m Dr. Edoardo Pasqui, Assistant Professor in Vascular Surgery at the University of Siena, Italy, under the direction of Prof. Gianmarco de Donato.
I’m an active member of both the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) and the Italian Society for Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (SICVE), in addition I serve on the Board of the Società Polispecialistica Italiana dei Giovani Chirurghi (SPIGC).
My clinical and research interests focus on endovascular and hybrid management of vascular disease, including aortic, carotid, and peripheral interventions, as well as vascular access for hemodialysis. I’m particularly interested in translational research and in promoting a patient-centered approach to vascular care.
I’m actively involved in national and international multicenter registries, contributing to real-world data generation in vascular surgery.
I joined the PVI 2026 Social Media Team to help disseminate clinically relevant content and engage with the international vascular community.
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 the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Research Professor of Vascular Surgery, with an interest in clinical and translational research. 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 Advanced Fellowship in 2019 in order to conduct research relating to cardiovascular risk management of individuals with aortic aneurysms and vascular disease, followed by an NIHR Research Professorship in 2025. My research has been funded (> £29 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), with an honorary appointment (Professor) at Imperial College, London (UK). 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, in Europe and the USA.
