Exceptional training and case exposure go hand in hand. Intense trauma experience as a general surg resident @JPS_Health @bswhealth_DFW gave me chops I still use ! Always have tons of tools in your surgical toolbox! Avoid disaster! You may save a life! 🤙🏼
@UABSurgery @UABCVI
I’ve seen this firsthand during a challenging lead extraction complicated by an IVC tear during a femoral extraction approach. Our awesome CV surgeon Dr. Still @RootGal210 placed a Foley catheter directly into the IVC tear to achieve temporary hemostasis, allowing for stabilization and definitive surgical repair. An incredible example of multidisciplinary teamwork and quick thinking when it mattered most - the patient survived because of it.
Big thanks to Ethicon aka Johnson & Johnson MedTech (@JNJMedTech) for supporting us surgeons and our trainees both in and out of OR. @UABSurgery @uabmedicine
Coronary Anastomosis Skills Lab today was a huge success and enjoyed by all (fellows, residents @UABSurgery, med students @UABHeersink). Thanks @RootGal210 @RobSorabellaMD for teaching and Ethicon for supporting!

47yo M prior KTx off R EIA admitted with critical R leg ischemia, occluded R CIA=>R SFA. Emergent OR = selective R CFA/EIA perfusion with 5F sheath. S/p hemiarch, FET with complete R EIA, R transplanted renal artery, F CFA opacification! He's doing great! 🥳🏆@UABSurgery @UABCVI

A true honor to work alongside this remarkable multidisciplinary and international group of experts to develop the ARCH-ARC consensus statement. Bringing together specialists in aortic disease, stroke, neurology, cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, imaging, industry, and regulatory science reinforced the importance of collaboration in advancing care for patients with complex thoracic aortic disease. Grateful to all of my co-authors for their expertise, collegiality, and commitment to improving outcomes. #ARCH-ARC @NimeshDesaiMD @GregoryPiazza4

Honored to represent @uabmedicine @UABCVI as a faculty member in this year's @TerumoAortic Fellows' course. Great discussions and connections made! Thank you @MarviTariq for presenting a few of our complex cases and huge saves! 🫀🔪
Excellent @TerumoAortic CT Fellows lab with @RootGal210 as faculty (discussing management of aortic arch including hybrid and extended replacement in TAAD) and @MarviTariq presenting @UABCVI cases (anomalous LVA and multi limb malperfusion saves by @RootGal210) #whyUABCT
