“I absolutely love depreciation and amortization! I can’t get enough of it. Absolutely love it!!!” -said no one except Dr. Aiello who is a coding/revenue/business/strategy mad genius presenting at #VAM24

Leaving Chicago energized and inspired knowing our next SVS Program Chair, Dr. Jason Lee, will take VAM to new heights, further than I can imagine. Extremely grateful to the 100s of volunteers who made this meeting so special. My most sincere thanks. See you in New Orleans.

Absolutely unsurprising and so incredibly well deserved!!!

The evolution of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair from 1950s to 2024 is nothing short of unbelievable. Back then it would have been fantasy to think that a patient could return home postop day 2 after treatment for extent 2 TAAA with chronic dissection.

Remember this name—Dr. Thomas Creeden. He will bend the curve on our understanding of vascular disease. Easily one of the best trainees we have graduated. Springfield, Missouri population just won the vascular surgery lottery. Best selling review book and best vascular surgeon!

Unfortunately, sometimes SMA stents fail. And when they do, it’s great to have an all star OR team led by Dr. Judelson to perform open aortomesenteric bypass! Open and endo, both, that is what it takes.

Fresh on Circulation outcomes of Aortic Research Consortium on 1,109 elective #endovascular #thoracoabdominal #aneurysm repair: 2.7% 30d mortality, 3.8% 5yr aortic related mortality and 2.7% 5yr aortic rupture. A testament to the effectiveness of #fbevar in centers of excellence

This study published today Circulation is the largest and most rigorous prospective evaluation of F/BEVAR to date by 10 U.S. sites participating in Aortic Research Consortium. 2 main messages: 1) the era of “F/BEVAR only for patients too high risk for open” is over, and 2) collaboration is key.

The single hardest thing to build is culture-takes time, effort, unwavering commitment to shared mission/values. Evidence healthy culture? Your division's admin team proactively designs & executes initiatives to improve patient care! So proud of our admin team led by Norma Mills.

Congratulations to Dr. Fan on her analysis evaluating practice patterns of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy after F/BEVAR demonstrating DAPT is associated with decreases target vessel instability. Now published. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Always fun to welcome our new superstar PGY1s, Dr. Forrester and Dr. Salley, to the UMassVascular family. Margarita bar, tacos, dunk tank….oh yeah!

Powerhouse team of vascular surgeons led by Dr. tammytnguyen guiding PGY4 Sudie-Ann Robinson, MD and PGY5 Kris Boelitz, M.D. through open mesenteric artery bypass with limbs to the celiac artery and SMA.

Best. Job. In. The. World.

Dejah Judelson (she/her) became a vascular surgeon after realizing how important vascular health is to us + patients from her mom, a cardiologist. Now, she's teaching her kids how to take care of their vascular health by bringing them along on the 60-mile challenge this month. Join them:

Inverted iliac limb bifurcate components in fenestrated branched EVAR are an excellent solution for failed EVAR rescue. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
