In this conversation between CX chairman Roger Greenhalgh and Professor of Vascular Surgery, Maarit Venermo (Helsinki, Finland), we discuss the importance of challenging the status quo in vascular and endovascular surgery.

Professor Venermo discusses challenging the status quo in superficial femoral artery management, non-invasive methods and her thoughts on aneurysms in the carotid artery “I’ve heard some say that it never ruptures – but it does!”
