Vascular Surgery
Vascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the western world. In order to prevent disease development and develop preventive strategies, a complete understanding of basic cellular and molecular mechanisms is necessary. Our research is focused on basic mechanisms both in the development of vascular disease as well as in the response of the vessel wall to vascular interventions for limb ischemia, carotid disease and stroke and aneurysms.
