How to place a side bitting clamp on the descending aorta for Thoraco Femoral Bypass. Keeping the thoracotomy rather small. Take down inferior pulmonary ligament. Expose aorta, loop it with umbilical tape, pull up on tape in order to get good purchase of Aorta #AortaEd

This individual unfortunately was given a bad operation. Why? Anyone who has trained with me knows this isn’t my work. I would’ve rather they had received kissing stents/CERAB whatever ENDO could’ve been done than this. How will I fix? How would you fix? Age, too young. #AortaEd

I prefer complete division of the proximal aortic neck for proximal anastomosis when performing aortic work. This was a large AAA with occluded iliacs in a 💁‍♀️Other anatomical criteria included severe neck angulation, small distal aorta and calcified small EIA. #AortaEd for women

A lot of discussion of #DVT (blood clots) in the shoulder of athletes. It’s not that uncommon.Associated with repetitive over head movement (throwing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, basketball, lacrosse) Early Dx & Rx leads to excellent outcomes. Clot & Rib need to be removed

A positive PET. AortaEd. Multiple prior operations at outside institution. Recurrent UTI. Look for distal aorta and right limb to see what a positive scan looks like. #AortaEd

How to parachute. It’s really an important technique to learn. The most important things to have. Long suture. 48 inch 4-0 BB for proximal anastomosis. I put 4-5 stitches in, then bring down graft. Especially useful in deep holes. 1st year fellow doing end to end to beveled aorta

Demonstration of parachute technique for the carotid LSA bypass. Everything is clearly able to be seen. Half the anastomosis by the fellow in 1 minute. #AortaEd keep tension on everything graft and suture to clearly visualize the artery. No need to even grab it

Steps I did. 1. I upsized my sheath from 22F to 26F 2. Used a long gore sheath (65 cm) 3. Plan was to snare the very proximal portion. 4. If snare didn’t work felt could grab with endoforceps 5. Wanted to get to groin to remove, but was able to completely bring into sheath

4 vessel FEVAR. 2 years out. Left flank pain for 8 hours that persists. Slight increase of creatinine 1.4 from 1.2. Tried to capture pertinent info on CTA. Size of both kidneys measured on CT. Intervene or Leave alone? #AortaEd
