Biography

My ambition is to advance image-guided therapy in vascular surgery by developing non-invasive alternatives to current minimally invasive procedures, creating predictive models for perioperative outcomes after endovascular interventions, and reducing or eliminating radiation exposure during image-guided treatments. To realize this vision, I have initiated and currently lead three major research projects that drive the development of innovative solutions, which I actively implement and evaluate through my clinical practice in everyday vascular care.

My clinical research and future plans are structured around three research pillars that I have initiated and the research groups I currently lead. This includes integrating AI-based decision support tools into real-time workflows for decision-making in PAD and aortic aneurysms interventions (1), validating novel and non-invasive vascular interventions (2), and development of 3D navigation systems to reduce radiation exposure and enhance procedural precision (3). 

Research groups

Therapy of atherosclerosis and aneurysms

Research aim

Development and validation of image guided interventions, medical devices and pharmaceutical interventions (eg anti-inflammatory/coagulation) to improve outcome of atherosclerotic disease and aneurysms
