@Ieomessiok Dear Leo as a Brazilian we are always reluctant to cheer for Argentina. This time we left this to the side. We need to recognize excellence. Congratulations on the best of all times.

Well said. He has the best outcomes reported for the largest operation performed in a human being, with over 3,800 open taaa repairs done. A master surgeon

I have never seen anyone more dedicated to the well-being of his patients. Patients always came first. He worked super-human hours to save the lives of countless patients-many were turned down by other surgeons because of the risk/complexity of the surgery. He was their last hope

@Pinar_Ozbek @MayoVascSurgery Digital zoom allows a three fold reduction in radiation dose compared to fusion alone. In fact the dose with digital zoom in obese patients is almost the same as the dose without digital zoom in non obese patients. Going forward this is a must for any imaging system

@JVascSurgCIT @JamesHBlackMD @peterjrossi @ShereneShalhub @umwgal Plan your failure. At some point redo operative repair will be needed. Avoid grouping branch grafts in close proximity, make future Endo repair ease by creating landing longer Landing zones. Some of the cases I had to handle were intercostal patches too close to visceral branches

@NCP_MD Nolan it has been an honor to work with you and all the great residents and fellows at the Mayo Clinic. I was given the chance to train 58 residents and fellows. The immense personal satisfaction by affecting so many lives through the hands and minds of others

Advise cutting the tip of braided wires to avoid unraveling the wire. Also for v18-14 cut the tip to become stiffer and facilitate advancement into the cannula. Advance as much as you can until resistance.

@AWBeckMD @farkomd @VascularMD @RKTvascular @cfbechara @PipeCabreraV @XavierBerardMD If there is some flow on the kidney parenchyma (duplex or Cta) yes. But if no evidence of any flow then I don’t try to recanalize. Many times there is some residual flow via collaterals and in those cases absolutely worth recanalization of the occluded stent

@westleyohman @JVascSurgCIT @JamesHBlackMD @peterjrossi @ShereneShalhub @umwgal Branch stenting pitfalls 1. Ideally at least proximal landing zone in surgical graft. If not be ready for possible retrograde dissection 2. Ideally repair based on branches > fenestrations 3. Ideally self > balloon expandable stents 4. Careful with closure devices.

@JVascSurgCIT @JamesHBlackMD @peterjrossi @ShereneShalhub @umwgal That is an evolving answer. I think the easy ones are ruptured aneurysms or acutely complicated when the repair does not burn any bridges. Also for failed open repair when the stents are placed in surgical grafts. I don’t think is unreasonable for iliac aneurysms…

@NTsilimparis @CircAHA Nikos congratulations on this important paper. Pmegs are a very important part of the armamentarium and in some cases probably the best option.

@AWBeckMD I do think if the anatomy is suitable probably yes. Mortality is substantially lower in contrast to redo open taaa. But we do need more data and more follow up. And Endo does come with need for surveillance and reinterventions.

@farkomd Frank challenging case. Is the patient good clinical risk? Is the ascending aorta suitable for a clamp. If good risk and suitable would do an ascending aortic to distal innominate-left common carotid bypass. Best!

@RKTvascular @aorticsurgeon @AWBeckMD @VascSurgMD @VascularMD @farkomd @benstarnesmd @DrAliAzizzadeh @cfbechara 15% mortality for extent 4 taaa is prohibitive. But 5-9% for juxtarenal is also too high. I believe with overcoming learning curve mortalities <3% can be consistently achieved with fbevar. The key is keeping large hospital/surgeon volume with centralization of care.

@AWBeckMD @canuc_57 @farkomd @VascularMD @RKTvascular @cfbechara @PipeCabreraV @XavierBerardMD Disagree. Ultrasound with power Doppler is more sensitive than ct. all you need is to show some flow. But again - we have great ultrasound where I work!

@westleyohman @mattsmeds @JVascSurgCIT @JamesHBlackMD @peterjrossi @ShereneShalhub @umwgal I think with vEDS patients we still have the concern with risk of surgical complications from the repair itself, small volume experiences and potential for future complications in segments not affected by aneurysms. So I tend to be conservative. For LDS, Marfans is different…
