It's time to officially introduce myself to the #MedTwitter world! I'm Tyson Hillock, an OMS4 pursuing my childhood dream of wielding a scalpel as a surgeon. I love books, guitar, and nature. I am grateful for how far I have come and look forward to applying in the #Match2025!

Introducing the percutaneous aorto-coronary bypass graft. The VECTOR procedure revascularizes the left main coronary artery using retrograde and antegrade steps: a retrograde wire exits the left main (distal graft), an electrosurgical wire exits the aortic root (proximal graft), a guidewire rail is created, and a stent graft is delivered from the aorta to the left main. What could possibly go wrong?

A very unusual occurrence: a large caliber calcified LIMA on a type I diabetic patient with diffuse disease. Only seen it twice in my career. This picture from a decade ago.
