St George’s is the leading centre for endovascular aneurysm surgery and is a tertiary referral centre for all areas of vascular surgery. The surgical workload includes 250 EVAR/ TEVARs, 50-60 carotid endarterectomies, in excess of 15 mesenteric revascularisation procedures and 60-70 lower limb revascularisations per year. These figures are predicted to increase substantially.
