VASCERN: The ERN on rare multisystemic vascular diseases on Reels

It was a great annual #Crick #Rare Disease Conference 2026. Learned so much new, made novel contacts, and of course, discussed #precision #therapies for #vascular, and more specifically, #lymphatic anomalies. Organised by @Veronica K. #VASCERN #vascapa #hevas #eurordis #CMTC

Congratulations, Emmanuel, on this online publication showing how #sirolimus treatment can be adapted to patients' needs. Most #patients with #slow-#flow #vascular #malformations benefit to some extent, and many experience significant #symptom reduction even with #intermittent dosing. This is a big step forward in the #multimodal management of vascular malformations. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #WELRI #ISSVA #EVDays #deduveinstitute #Leducq #Radiorg #Eurordis #Lymph
