Research

Research Projects:

Arterial

  • The effect of Clopidogrel on outcomes in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
  • CLopidogrel After Superficial femoral artery Stenting: The CLASS Study
  • The effectiveness of stenting vs angioplasty alone in superficial femoral and popliteal artery disease.
  • Disease markers and clinical predictors for restenosis following intervention for peripheral arterial disease.
  • Homocysteine levels predictive of restenosis after revascularisation for total occlusion of SFA.
  • Elevated CRP levels a marker for restenosis after revascularisation in peripheral arterial disease.
  • Gore® Viabahn® Endoprosthesis in Femoropopliteal Lesions
  • Does stenting below the knee afford an added long-term outcome in limb salvage?
  • Natural history of carotid artery disease: do we need revascularisation?
  • Surgery versus stenting for PAD and carotid artery disease.
  • New devices for lower limb revascularisation.
  • NOAC agents in PAD

Venous

  • DVT prophylaxis following major joint surgery (hip and knee): is there a benefit to longer duration?
  • New oral anticoagulant agents for treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
  • Aspirin versus Apixaban for VTE prophylaxis In Total Knee Replacement [AVIATOR study].
  • Duration of therapy following deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
  • Does frequent surveillance ultrasound alter the natural history of calf vein thrombosis following joint surgery?
  • VTE in the obstetric population

Other Research Interests

  • Biology underlying restenosis in peripheral arterial disease: is there an angiogenesis component?
  • Angiogenesis for critical limb ischaemia and refractory coronary artery disease.
  • Autologous stem cell transplantation for critical limb ischaemia and severe claudication.
