S.R. Vallabhaneni was appointed a Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon to The Royal Liverpool University Hospital in Aug 2005 following training in Liverpool and Malmo, Sweden. Rao’s main clinical interest is in the area of aortic intervention, specialising in endovascular intervention for complex aneurysms using branched and fenestrated devices.

Rao was awarded MD from University of Liverpool (2004) for his thesis entitled “Endotension: Clinical and Laboratory Investigations” and the work gave him experience of basic science research with direct relevance to clinical research. He championed the use of image analysis for accurate planning and deployment and developed some of the earliest of endovascular aneuirysm repair (EVAR) planning courses using 3D workstations.He runs the GLOBALSTAR Project and his research interests include evaluating the incremental benefits of endovascular techniques over conventional surgery and developing image analyses methods to improve surveillance after EVAR.
