In this thought-provoking episode of the ESVS Podcast we delve into an important and under-discussed issue in vascular surgery: Are women left behind in carotid stenosis treatment?

Carotid stenosis is a contributor to ischemic strokes, and some papers show women may experience delays or suboptimal care in comparison to men. In this episode, we will listen to Professor Barbara Rantner, a senior consultant vascular surgeon from Munich, Germany, and Dr Claudia Schrimpf, a leading expert from Zurich, Switzerland. Together, they explore sex-related differences in carotid disease treatment and share their insights on the latest research and clinical experiences.
