Congratulations to Dr. Pooja Desai, vascular fellow @UPMC_Vascular, presenting @TheSVSVQI outcomes data @SCVS1969!
Regional versus general anesthesia during carotid endarterectomy:
Both are safe - local practice patterns dominate.
Great presentation by Pitt medical student Leon Min @SCVS1969#scvs2026 examining male/female outcomes after AVF creation! Female and male patients achieve similar AVF maturation, though female patients experience more secondary procedures.
