@UKvascular fellows. Pros at the #open #AAA. 1st yr fellow met her required open abdomen (and #EVAR) cases in 6 months! Here she is doing back to back open AAAs. #AAA should be tx by well trained surgeons in #open & #endo. For aortic problems, see an expert! #VascularSurgeon

Such a great time at Eastern Vascular! One of the best parts of these meetings is reconnecting with mentors, colleagues, and former trainees. Proud of Nikhil Pallem, MS4, for his podium presentation during the aortic session

Proud to share ARCH-ARC out today in Circulation 🔥 The endo arch world is moving FAST — branched/fenestrated devices, ascending endografts, total arch without sternotomy. We needed a framework to keep up. First-ever standardized endpoints for thoracic aortic arch trials: new aortic-specific neuro endpoints including structured neurocognitive testing, delirium protocols & spinal cord injury grading. A modified Type A Dissection Classification system to clarify arch involvement. A framework for multi-specialty collaboration. Real outcomes for real patients. It was a privilege to lead this alongside @AWBeckMD and couldn't be prouder of what this incredible international team built together 🫀🚀 #AorticSurgery #TEVAR #ArchARC

“In 2021, vascular surgeons produced an average of $1.6 million per full-time equivalent, ranking as the fourth-highest revenue-producing specialty in the health care system.” And that is for the obvious, billable services, not for everything else…. beckershospitalreview.com/st…

Incredible Grand Rounds with Dr. Sam Tyagi (@UKentucky)! 🏥
His RCT on using sub-dissociative ketamine to slash opiate use in thoracoabdominal aneurysm recovery is a game-changer for patient outcomes. 🚀
Great insights with our team! Thank you @SamTyagiMD

Excited to share that our new study is in press at @ATHjournal! We investigated how aspirin therapy impacts aortic aneurysm progression with a little help from @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp.

Failure was not an option: 55 years ago, Apollo 13 astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert were headed for the Moon. En route, an oxygen tank ruptured. Creative problem solving and courage brought them home safely. Here's how: nasa.gov/mission/apollo-13/
