@AHAScience 💬 Editorial: While restrictive transfusion remains standard, TOP trial results indicate some cardiac patients may benefit from a tailored approach based on clinical factors.

Happy to see our work in JAMA

1/5: Our work in the TOP trial is now in JAMA. TOP randomized 1428 high cardiac risk patients after major general or vascular surgery to a restrictive (Hb < 7 g/dL) or liberal (Hb < 10 g/dL) transfusion strategy. 👇

Obesity has emerged as a growing driver of amputation risk, while diabetes and renal disease remain steady contributors. Findings call for new prevention strategies focused on metabolic health.

After decades of decline, major lower extremity amputations are rising again. From 2010–2021, below-knee amputations increased 9% per year and above-knee amputations 4% per year, reaching 30-year highs.

Among older adults undergoing elective surgery, living alone does not raise the risk of readmission or death but is linked to more frequent discharge to continued care and a slightly longer hospital stay.

Dr. Tomás Daviú Molinari matched in Vascular Surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. He will make an impact as he pursues his goal to become a community vascular surgeon in Puerto Rico. Congratulations!

Excited our work is out!

Big question: medical management or early TEVAR for acute type B aortic dissection?

The only way forward is evidence - let’s recruit to the IMPROVE-AD trial!

Huge congratulations to MS3 Steven Medvedovsky for winning an award at #AVAS2025 for his presentation “Facility Medicaid Payer Proportion Is Linearly Associated with Postoperative Mortality After High-Risk Surgery” 🎉 @KougiasP

[Association of VA Surgeons (AVAS) @VAsurgeons]

Study finds rising mortality after above-knee amputations (AKA) in the U.S. since 2016—up 7.4% yearly—despite declining deaths after below-knee amputations (BKA). Resource-limited hospitals face higher risks. @DownstateSurg @VascularSVS #AVAS2025
