Simen Tveten Berge

Simen Tveten Berge is an Associate Professor in the Department of Vascular Diseases at the University of Oslo. His research focuses on vascular surgery innovations, particularly in endovascular procedures, chronic mesenteric ischemia, and median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). He has pioneered the use of advanced diagnostic techniques such as gastroscopy-assisted laser Doppler flowmetry and visible light spectroscopy for microcirculatory assessment. Major contributions include long-term follow-up studies of endovascular devices like the Nellix system, and prospective analyses of laparoscopic surgical approaches for gastrointestinal vascular disorders.

His work bridges clinical practice and translational research, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes and quality-of-life improvements post-surgery. Berge collaborates extensively with multidisciplinary teams on vascular physiology studies and has addressed global health challenges through advocacy for equitable access to schistosomiasis treatments in sub-Saharan Africa.

Publications span high-impact journals like European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, reflecting his dual focus on vascular intervention efficacy and diagnostic method development. His research consistently integrates technological innovation with clinical problem-solving to advance vascular medicine.
