Abstract

Rare Vascular Diseases (RVD) encompass different types of vessel involvement. Some cause a dilation, others a weakening or tortuosity of the arterial wall, others an obstruction or excessive calcification of arterial walls. Clinical pathway of patients with RVD to diagnosis is often long and complex. Thus, in order to allow early diagnosis and coordinated multidisciplinary management and follow-up, a specialized RVD centre has been set-up at the CHUV, following the framework of the national concept of rare diseases.<br />Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêt en relation avec cet article.
