• University: Uppsala University
• Departments: Surgical Sciences; Vascular Surgery
• Academic Role: Physician Scientist

Svensjö's research spans vascular surgery, public health, and clinical decision-making, particularly in evaluating the cost-effectiveness of AAA screening and hereditary risk factors for aneurysm disease. His recent publications highlight a declining prevalence of AAA in Swedish men and the importance of registry-based identification for familial risk groups.

Notable trends in his work include:

• Longitudinal studies on AAA progression and repair indications
• Meta-analyses of health-related quality of life in AAA patients
• Modeling of screening efficacy using Markov processes
• Policy contributions to international AAA screening guidelines
