@UKvascular fellows. Pros at the #open #AAA. 1st yr fellow met her required open abdomen (and #EVAR) cases in 6 months! Here she is doing back to back open AAAs. #AAA should be tx by well trained surgeons in #open & #endo. For aortic problems, see an expert! #VascularSurgeon

“In 2021, vascular surgeons produced an average of $1.6 million per full-time equivalent, ranking as the fourth-highest revenue-producing specialty in the health care system.” And that is for the obvious, billable services, not for everything else…. https://t.co/JLThmShti8

Incredible Grand Rounds with Dr. Sam Tyagi (@UKentucky)! 🏥
His RCT on using sub-dissociative ketamine to slash opiate use in thoracoabdominal aneurysm recovery is a game-changer for patient outcomes. 🚀
Great insights with our team! Thank you @SamTyagiMD

Excited to share that our new study is in press at @ATHjournal! We investigated how aspirin therapy impacts aortic aneurysm progression with a little help from @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp.

@farkomd Perhaps, will likely need humans to train them, and may solve the rural health access problem. But it may take a lot for people to trust the robots.

Failure was not an option: 55 years ago, Apollo 13 astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert were headed for the Moon. En route, an oxygen tank ruptured. Creative problem solving and courage brought them home safely. Here's how: https://t.co/sLMxNYVdAG
