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! 🤙🏼

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.

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

Excellent talk @MichaelHalkos at the @AATSHQ/@TSRA_official trainee luncheon. By 2030, 3000 🫀🫁surgeons will cover 845,000 cases (compared to 4000 surgeons covering 530,000 in 2010). Great time to be a CT surgeon. Prioritize right job/mentorship>> location/money

Let’s continue to lead, to advocate, and to serve beyond the operating room.
