Congratulations Emmanuel on showing how #sirolimus treatment can be adapted. #patients with #slow-#flow #vascular #malformations have #symptom reduction even with #intermittent dosing. A big step forward in the #multimodal management of VAs. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #ISSVA #EVDays #Lymph

Great two sessions this morning at the mammouth size 2025 #AHA on various aspects of lymphatic and vascular situations of interest to cardiologists. Naturally I was addressing the #genetic basis and pathophysiology of #primary #lymphedema. #vascern #eshg #hevas #cmtc #welbio #theralymp #lymph

So happy to have been able to teach about genetics and theragnostics on vascular anomalies at the 18th European Course in Neuroradiology. An extensive, high level course for all those interested in specialising in the field. Humbling to be part of the faculty.

It was indeed a great ReVAMP LEDUCQ meeting in Orford. We have a great network.
Another successful #leducq #ReVAMP meeting held at Orford, Canada! Great science, food and friendship... Thanks @ondinecleaver.bsky.social for hosting us and showing us the way up the mountain! A la prochaine!

It was again a great Lymphatic Forum, this time in Chicago. From basic lymphatic endothelial cell biology to clinical trials on lymphatic diseases. Looking forward to the 2027 one.

It was great to be able to add a small human bit to the story. # VASCAPA #vascern #cmtc #Hevas #vascapa #evbo #navbo
We hope these findings bring us closer to better treatments for this challenging condition. #vascularbiology #PIK3CA #venousmalformation
