Vascular Anomalies Registry

The VASCA registry collects data from patients with rare vascular diseases who are being treated at various expert centres across Europe. Its primary objective is to enhance our understanding of these rare diseases through various research endeavors, such as natural history studies, genotype-phenotype correlations, population comparisons, and cross-country care comparisons.

VASCA Registry

  • VASCA registry is technically ready to accept patients. With the help of the VASCERN data steward, VASCA HCP Radboud University Medical Center had started registering patients with EUPID (pseudonymisation tool) but as EUPID is no longer used because of security issues these patients have been removed. There is a new pseudonymisation tool being considered as a replacement called SPIDER (Secure Privacy-preserving Identity management in Distributed Environments for Research). This tool is still under development and discussed within the ERN’s.
  • It has been registered at ERDRI.dor and ERDRI.mdr.
  • VASCA HCP Helsinki University Hospital almost ready to register patients: has signed permit for using the hospital data and soon to sign contract with Castor.
  • Disease specific elements are defined and are at EJP-RD for selecting and modeling.
