Description

How can a global, imaging-rich registry powered by AI reshape surveillance and quality of life after EVAR and TEVAR?

In this episode of the ESVS Podcast, host Egle Kavaliunaite speaks with Prof. Kak Khee Yeung (Amsterdam UMC, ESVS President 2026–27-elect) and Prof. Timothy Resch (Copenhagen University Hospital) about the TOGETHER Registry, a large, prospective, long-term aortic registry capturing real-world data on EVAR, TEVAR and iliac branch devices, including hostile as well as standard anatomy.

In this conversation, they explore:

• What makes TOGETHER different from previous aortic registries (central imaging, longer follow-up, global scope)
• How advanced imaging and AI-ready data may help predict which patients need intensive surveillance – and who may safely need less
• The clinical meaning of sac regression, endoleaks and durability when viewed through patient quality of life
• The strengths and limitations of a single-brand registry in a multi-device treatment landscape
• How remote monitoring, mobile tools and future biomarkers could transform aortic follow-up
