#EVS2022: "Preoperative renal function, current smoking status and aortic diameter are associated with postoperative renal failure" following EVAR for complex AAAs. Presented by Priya Patel from NewYork-Presbyterian Eastern Vascular Society #VascSurg

Dr. Priya Patel: 39% of #TEVAR patients demonstrate aortic regression at 1 year. 5-year rupture & reinterventions higher in patients w/aortic expansion or stable aorta. These patients may benefit from shorter interval follow-up to maintain graft integrity. #EVS2022 Eastern Vascular Society

As we countdown to Match Day, I want you to meet Dr. Kevin Jon Williams. For nearly 20 years, he fought for - and eventually won - a student-optimal matching algorithm. It’s one of the great stories of advocacy in Match history… and the NRMP refuses to acknowledge it. (a 🧵)

In 1998, a small residency program in Colorado lost its accreditation. It wasn’t the kind of thing that you’d expect to change the course of academic medicine. And yet, it *almost* did. Earlier, I explained how the Match started. Now, I’ll tell you how it nearly collapsed. 🧵

Dr. Tom O'Donnell: Staged endo treatment of #TAAA associated w/similar perioperative & LT complications to single stage treatments. However, 1st stage procedures associated w/significant morbidity & mortality, & 1/4 of patients never complete their repairs. #SCVS2023 SCVS
