“Studies have shown that current gowns provide inadequate protection to breast tissue as they leave the upper outer quadrant and axilla exposed”
Data complicated due to ‘relatively small’ numbers of women working in T&O cardiology and IR specialties
So tired of this rubbish!! #invisiblewomen
5-year patient survival after Extent I-III #fbevar#taaa is ~50%, similar to #CHF survival and less than population. 9 out 10 patients die from non aortic causes. What’s next: more compliant stents? Better medical therapy? We need to stop focus more on survival not stent outcomes

For all the trainee trying to juggle revision, work, home and commutes - this is for you! First in a series of podcasts to help you prep for the FRCS Urol viva. Ideal to load up and play in the car @BSoT_UK@BAUSurology
