A deeper understanding of genetic aortopathies is fundamental to a precision approach in vascular surgery - @ShereneShalhub in an excellent presentation on Genotype-surgical phenotype correlations at #ANZSVS23@anzsvs@AorticC@JVascSurg@ManarKhashram@RACSurgeons

Heaps of fun at #ESVS2023 in Belfast, Ireland! Highlight was the inaugural Aortic Triathlon! Not quite the year for the @anzsvs lads down under, but we'll be back next year stronger and better. Congrats to the Porto boys who took out ๐ฅ @erincsaricilar@ESVSmembership@EVST_ESVS
Would this explain our high rates of AAS, especially in some ethnic groups? ๐ง ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ Read our recent paper linked above... and watch this space for more to come!!
We have high rates of Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS) in Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ). But what's the genetic predisposition to developing AAS? Read our recent paper!

In Aotearoa New Zealand we have widened genetic aortopathy testing for patients with Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS). We've found our patients, in Te Manawa Taki, may actually have a higher risk of a problematic underlying genetic aortopathy compared to international cohorts.
We are pleased to share our new RCT investigating pre-operative sciatic nerve blocks vs surgeon-placed perineural catheters for the prevention of phantom limb pain in BKAs ๐ช๐
