The vascular surgery research group in Uppsala focuses on issues related to the most important vascular surgical diseases.
The research group uses several different methods including prospective clinical studies, registry-based research, data-simulation (Markov-analysis), animal experiments, biochemical analyses and complex imaging techniques. The PhD projects normally include several different scientific methods. The research group coordinates large multicentre randomized trials evaluating the effect of a mastcell-inhibitor (AORTA-trial) and platelet inhibition (TicAAA-trial) on AAA growth rate.
