Research interests
Professor Chetter’s interests are predominantly Health Services Research and New and Emerging Technologies in arterial and venous disease, wound healing and surgical site infection. In addition he has interests in the molecular biology of aneurysmal disease, ischaemia reperfusion, translational research in therapies for intermittent claudication and educational research analysing the value of endovascular simulation.
