From the laboratory to the bedside: a multidisciplinary program to reduce the impact of cardio-respiratory diseases /
Vascular Surgery

Arterial, aortic and peripheral, and venous diseases
Clinical and translational engineering research activity focuses on acute and chronic diseases of the thoracic and abdominal aorta, such as aneurysms and dissections, carotid and arterial steno-obstructive diseases of the lower limbs, and venous diseases of the lower limbs.
It is developed through analysis of the results of various surgeries performed by open and/or endovascular technique in patients with the above diseases. The analysis is conducted both in a single-center and multicenter manner, participating in many national and international registries and trials.
Translational engineering studies are aimed at computational fluid dynamics analysis after endovascular repair, using sophisticated radiological techniques to reconstruct and simulate in silico, in detail, aortic aneurysms. In addition, the research team uses an in vitro and ex-vivo model that experimentally reproduces the human circulation, within which the behavior of different aortic endoprostheses is studied.
