Core areas of practice
- Stroke prevention with one-day carotid artery surgery and stenting
- Keyhole (endovascular), open and hybrid repair of aneurysms of the chest and abdomen
- Aortic dissection, including complex pan-aortic disease
- Restoring blood flow to the legs and salvaging limbs threatened by critical ischaemia
- Visceral, mesenteric and renal artery reconstruction
- Keyhole treatment of varicose veins as a four-hour admission
- Chronic venous ulcers and refractory wounds, including hyperbaric medicine
- Diabetic foot disease and prevention of amputation
Techniques pioneered by Prof Sultan
Over four decades Prof Sultan has developed and published a number of techniques now used internationally, including subintimal angioplasty, the DRESS technique for complex aneurysm repair, the kinetic elephant trunk for pan-aortic dissection, the TIGER protocol for aortic dissection below the diaphragm, the PASHA and ARAFAT techniques for diagnosing concealed endoleaks, triple neuroprotection for stroke beyond the usual 24-hour treatment window, and the Bridge VAC and compression method for refractory venous ulcers.
