In this edition we discuss a large scale study on aortic aneurysm in The Netherlands called ‘the RADAR study’, to bring aortic aneurysm on the Radar of researchers and clinicians. The goal of the RADAR study is to predict development of an aortic aneurysm in the course of life, to predict growth of an existing aneuryms and to predict aortic dissection or rupture to support timely intervention. In this episode I have two special guests. PhD-student Joe Juffermans and associate professor Jos Westenberg from the Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands.
