As a general surgery intern, I was influenced by Dr DeBakey to pursue a career in vascular surgery. He graciously met with my parents when they visited Houston. #legends#cvsurgery
On this day in 1908, Dr. Michael DeBakey, a Lebanese-American cardiac and vascular surgeon, was born. He is known for his many surgical innovations including coronary bypass operations, carotid endarterectomy, artificial hearts and ventricular assist devices. #Histweet#CTSurgery
Our modified Candy Plug (CP) uses an off-the-shelf device to address false lumen (FL) perfusion after TEVAR for type B #AorticDissection (TBAD). #JVSCITTweetChat#AortaEd
Helpful #tip for healthcare professionals: when evaluating patients for #aortic diseases (#aneurysm#dissection) consider CTA chest, AND abdomen, AND pelvis. Anything less may be an incomplete workup and result in unnecessary delays in care. #AortaEd#SoMe4Surgery#SoMe4Medicine
