The Vascular Medicine Department of Montpellier University Hospital is a referral centre for the management of peripheral arterial disease, venous thromboembolic disease and Vascular Rare diseases which include lymphatic and vascular anomalies including arterial fragility such as the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Identification of the genetics variants and personalized therapeutic developments are available for the Lymphatic pathologies. The centre is part of the RIETE Cohort study led by Pr Manuel Monreal on venous thromboembolic disease since the beginning of the project.

She joined a European Centre as a researcher dedicated to the identification of the genetic background of the Lymphatic anomalies including Primary Lymphoedema and became a director of the International Lymphoedema Framework in 2009. She is the President of the French ILF which is the Partenariat Français du Lymphoedème.

Reasearch areas of the Centre

– Venous thromboembolism (VTE) disease

  • Identification of new risk and predictive factors in different settings of VTE disease
  • Validation of therapeutic strategies for VTE disease
  • Management of venous post thrombotic (PTS) disease.

– Lymphoedema and Vascular and Lymphatic anomalies

  • Evaluation of strategies for treating lymphoedema and its complications.
  • Development of new tools for clinical assessement and clinical trials (3D-Camera and Phlebosthène projects).
  • Primary lymphoedema and lymphatic malformations: natural course and complications
