About

Jorinde van Laanen is a leading vascular surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of complex renal and aortic pathologies, particularly through innovative open and hybrid techniques. Her major contributions center on the safety and efficacy of ex situ repair and autotransplantation for endovascularly untreatable renal artery aneurysms (RAA)—a rare but life-threatening condition with rupture mortality rates reaching 80%. In her landmark 2024 nationwide cohort study, van Laanen demonstrated that this demanding surgical approach offers a durable, life-saving alternative when minimally invasive options fail, providing critical evidence for treatment algorithms in high-risk vascular patients. Though her most-cited work is early in its citation trajectory, its impact is already shaping clinical guidelines for RAA management. Beyond this, van Laanen has advanced the field through meticulous outcomes research in complex aortic repair and renal salvage procedures. Her work bridges the gap between endovascular limitations and open surgical innovation, earning her recognition as a key opinion leader in vascular surgery. For students and researchers, van Laanen exemplifies how rigorous, real-world data can transform the care of rare, catastrophic vascular diseases.
