Saratzis, Athanasios  PhD

Senior researcher with 295 publications in the last 20 years
I am a Professor of Vascular Surgery with an interest in clinical and translational research. At the same time, I have a clinical interest in peripheral revascularisation with a focus on complex endovascular and hybrid procedures. I perform a large volume of limb salvage procedures, using all latest relevant endovascular technologies. I received a prestigious National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Advanced Fellowship in 2019 in order to conduct research relating to cardiovascular risk management of individuals with aortic aneurysms and vascular disease. My research has been funded (>£7 million) by the NIHR, Academy of Medical Sciences, British Heart Foundation, Royal College of Surgeons, and several industry partners. I currently lead a number of randomised trials and major applied research projects (mostly NIHR-funded). I was awarded a Hunterian Professorship in 2020 on the subject of renal dysfunction in vascular patients. I previously led the Vascular and Endovascular Research Network (VERN), establishing it as a major clinical research delivery network globally. I am also one of the founders of the global "Research Collaborative for Peripheral Arterial Disease". I am based in the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre and Department of Cardiovascular Sciences (University of Leicester). Prior to my current academic appointment, I completed my higher surgical training in Birmingham (West Midlands), Leicester, and London, funded by the NIHR throughout my training; I also completed a number of visiting/travel fellowships outside the UK as part of my endovascular training in high volume centres, such as the Houston Methodist.
