ESVS 2026 Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Descending Thoracic and Thoraco-Abdominal Aortic Diseases - Part 2

Welcome back to the ESVS Podcasts. This is Suzanne Stokmans, and you are listening to part 2 of the Q&A series on the ESVS 2026 Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Descending Thoracic and Thoraco-Abdominal Aortic Diseases.

In this episode, we move from the general principles discussed in part 1 to disease-specific management. We’ll focus on acute thoracic aortic syndromes, chronic type B aortic dissection, and degenerative descending thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms, conditions that make up a large part of daily aortic practice, where decision-making is often nuanced and time-critical.
