Dimitri Aerden

Dimitri Aerden is a Physician Scientist at the Vascular Surgery department of Vrije Universiteit Brussel's University Hospital Brussels (UZB). His work bridges clinical practice and research in diabetic foot complications, vascular surgery, and advanced CT imaging.

Research Focus: Aerden specializes in diabetic foot pathophysiology, peripheral arterial disease, and 4D computed tomography angiography for perfusion assessment. His clinical research explores glucose dynamics in vascular surgery patients and innovative revascularization techniques.

Key Contributions: He has pioneered the use of intra-arterial 4D CT for simultaneous blood flow and tissue perfusion evaluation in diabetic feet. His recent work on stentgraft occlusion and cerebral revascularization highlights his expertise in vascular interventions.

Supervised Work: Notably, he co-supervised the 2019 Master's thesis on perioperative glucose evolution in diabetic vascular surgery patients.
