Professor Sherif A H Sultan MD FRCS FACS PhD, Galway Clinic, Galway (2025)

Pioneering Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon, Inventor and Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgery

18/11/2025

A privilege to stand once again with Prof Frank Veith, the father of modern vascular surgery, at the 52nd VEITH Symposium in New York. This year marks my twenty-sixth consecutive attendance at what has long become the Mecca for vascular and endovascular specialists worldwide — a place where innovation meets science, where pioneering ideas are scrutinised, and where the future of our discipline is shaped with both courage and clarity.

The VEITH meeting has never merely been a conference; it is a crucible of progress. Its milestones have charted the evolution of endovascular therapy, introduced paradigm-shifting techniques, and forged the collaborations that continue to redefine limb salvage, aortic care and carotid intervention. Prof Veith’s vision — relentless, uncompromising and decades ahead of its time — has created a global stage where disruptive thought is not only welcomed but demanded.

Honoured to continue this journey and to contribute to the collective pursuit of excellence that VEITH embodies.

At the prestigious and majestic APVIC XVII – Asia Pacific Vascular Society’s Annual Summit, an unforgettable moment in the annals of global vascular medicine took place. Amid a hall of the world’s leading vascular experts and academic giants, Professor Sherif Sultan was honoured with the Doctor Gargi Khanna Oration Award, one of the highest academic recognitions in the international vascular community.

This singular honour—often regarded as the Nobel Prize of Vascular Medicine—was presented in person by Professor NN Khanna, a towering figure in Asian vascular leadership and one of the founding visionaries of the Asia Pacific Vascular Society. In front of the international vascular elite, Prof Khanna handed over the prestigious plaque to Prof Sultan, recognising a lifetime of transformative innovation and clinical courage.

This is not merely an academic accolade. It is a symbol of global recognition. A standing ovation for decades of pushing boundaries, of challenging the status quo, of healing what others declared lost. It represents a seismic shift in vascular thought leadership, and Prof Sultan is at its epicentre.

Prof Sherif Sultan stood as a beacon of disruptive excellence—a man who has not only practised vascular surgery but reshaped its very future.

This honour is the natural result of a life forged in academic steel, a career rooted in bold exploration, and hands trained not only to operate, but to lead revolutions.
In his distinguished address, Prof Sultan introduced the Vasc-Omic paradigm, a conceptual and clinical leap that blends artificial intelligence, multiomics, and digital precision tools to forecast risk, personalise therapy, and improve patient outcomes. This is not a vision of tomorrow. This is the present reality, built in his operating rooms, proven in his patients, and spreading across the globe.

Galway Clinic and Gore Unveil Revolutionary Low-Profile VBX Balloon System: A New Era in Aortic Arch Aneurysm Repair and BEVAR

In a landmark collaboration between global endovascular giant Gore and the renowned Galway Clinic, the cutting-edge VBX Low-Profile Balloon System has been officially launched, bringing a seismic shift to the treatment of complex aortic arch aneurysms and branched endovascular aortic repair (BEVAR).

This revolutionary system, capable of navigating through 6 and 7 French sheaths, offers unmatched deliverability, precision, and stability. Its balloon-graft adherence technology ensures firm placement, resisting dislodgement even during challenging manipulations in tortuous vascular anatomy. For vascular specialists, this represents a cornerstone innovation—particularly vital in debranching procedures and arch reconstructions, where millimetres define success.

At the heart of this technological debut is the Galway Clinic’s state-of-the-art endovascular suite, under the direction of Prof Sherif Sultan, a pioneer in complex aortic and endovascular surgery. Flanked by his elite aortic team, Galway Clinic stands today as Ireland’s premier centre for vascular excellence, chosen by Gore due to its deliberate high-volume practice and unparalleled clinical outcomes.

The aortic team includes:
Miss Lynda Lally, Miss Niamh Hynes, Dr. Mostafa Dufany, Prof. Sherif Sultan, Mr. Rory Curell, Miss Renata Brozek, Miss Lauretta Curran, and Miss Ann Mathew—each representing the epitome of precision, dedication, and multidisciplinary synergy.

In an era where technology must meet talent, Galway Clinic leads the charge.
