Why This Matters
We are excited to announce that CAASP has been published in BJS Open.
This accomplishment is the result of an excellent effort from all collaborators, yielding important findings for patients with aortic dissection.
The study was coordinated by two trainee-led research collaboratives, VERN and UNITE, fostering close links between trainees in vascular surgery and interventional radiology. We are also grateful for the support from the The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust which has been instrumental in our success.
VERN and BSIRT are delighted to announce the opening of CAASP supported by The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust.
This UK based project aims to understand the diagnosis and referral pathways for patients with Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS), including delays in referrals and management, to help improve the outcomes of patients with AAS.
