Last week at Charing Cross Symposium 2026 one of those meetings that reminds you why you love this field.

Had the chance to step into the carotid & stroke debate—and came out on top in the transcarotid arterial tecascularization with the BSC NPS discussion. More importantly, the exchange of ideas was sharp, honest, and forward-thinking.

From evolving carotid technologies and transcarotid approaches to vertebral disease and CREST 2 implications true multidisciplinary care—this meeting delivered.

What I value most? The balance of contributing and learning.

Grateful to Andrew Holden, Erin Murphy, and Dietmar Böckler for the invitation and leadership.

Bringing these insights back to patients and teams.
