Oxford Textbook of Vascular Surgery

Professor Matt Thompson is the Professor of Vascular Surgery at St George's, University of London and a Consultant Vascular Surgeon at St Georges Vascular Institute (SGVI). Professor Thompson trained at Cambridge, St Bartholomew's Hospital, the University of Leicester and Adelaide. His awards include a Hunterian Professorship, the Moynihan travelling fellowship and the gold medal for the intercollegiate examination. His clinical interests are in the treatment of complex aortic disease and minimally invasive vascular surgery in which the SGVI has an international reputation. He has been the clinical director for three London-wide service reconfigurations (cardiovascular disease, major trauma and emergency services). He is the past Secretary of the British Society for Endovascular Therapy and a Council Member of the Vascular Society. Professor Thompson chairs the Clinical Reference Group for Vascular Services for the NHS Specialised Commissioning Board.
