We surveyed Canadian vascular surgeons on device representatives’ presence during standard EVAR cases. Majority felt an overall benefit. Few perceived significant ethical issues, many felt more immune to company bias than their colleagues

The original 1960 paper from Cattell and Braasch describing right medial visceral rotation (the Cattell-Braasch maneuver).

Though most commonly associated with operations for trauma, it was originally described for tumors.

The entire manuscript is 482 words long. 🧐
