REPAIR is a survey, developed in collaboration with the Vascular Anaesthesia Society of Great Britain and Ireland (VASGBI). It aims to establish if and how cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used to aid clinical decision making when planning elective abdnomial aortic anuerysm (AAA) repair in current practice.
VERN President Nina Al-Saadi and committee member Rash Ali explains how the Vascular and Endovascular Research Network (VERN) supports trainee-led vascular surgery research through multicentre collaborative studies, project development, research funding and publication opportunities to improve patient care.
