Dr. John Galat's passion for cardiology sparked when he witnessed a heart surgeon in a full-length mink coat and beaver skin hat save a life. That moment left an unforgettable mark on him. Now, Dr. Galat is doing the same for other aspiring surgeons. He regularly uses his vacation hours to teach in the cardiothoracic surgery residency program he helped start in Bomet, Kenya.

As a mentor and educator, Dr. Noor often serves as faculty at various conferences and programs, and Boston Scientific’s Fellows 101 Program was the first of many in May! During a dinner with vascular surgery fellows, faculty discussed life in the interventional world and how it differs for a surgeon, cardiologist, or interventional radiologist. Faculty shared their personal trials and tribulations with the attendees. During a busy day of various sessions, faculty presented different disease states and discussed different cases complications, and hands-on experience with devices, providing fellows with a comprehensive look at the world of vascular disease. #vascularsurgery #BEVSA #vascularsurgeonbuffalo #buffalo

As a spine surgeon at the Hoag Spine Institute, Dr. Adam Kanter, the Executive Medical Director at the Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute and Chief of Neurosurgery at the Hoag Specialty Clinic, specializes in minimally invasive surgery. What exactly is minimally invasive surgery? According to Dr. Kanter, it's all about achieving maximum results with minimal disruption. By utilizing advanced retractors and innovative techniques the goal is to address spinal issues while preserving surrounding tissues and minimizing incisions. With minimally invasive procedures, patients experience shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times, and reduced trauma to muscles and bones. That means less pain and a faster return to everyday activities!

We proudly present our project partner Medical University of Innsbruck, Vascular Surgery University Clinic - State Hospital of Innsbruck, Austria. The team with our corresponding partner Dr. Kristina Grassl and Univ. Prof. Dr. Sabine Wipper, Priv.-Doz. Dr. Dr.med. Alexandra Gratl, FEBVS; Priv.-Doz. Dr. Florian Enzmann, PHD, FEBVS; and David Walcher (medical student) and is a great example of innovative aortic research. Their preliminary results demonstrate the potential of biomechanical risk parameters in the identification of aneurysm patients, whose aorta is likely to rupture in the future. The figure shows two cases of matching baseline characteristics - while one aorta is going to rupture in a few years, the other one keeps stable. It is biomechanical parameters at baseline that predicted that already years ahead. The great effort of setting up this excellently designed study is highly appreciated, and we are looking forward to the continuation of this work. #aorta#healthcareinnovation#aortic#MedicalStudy#aorticdisease#abdominalaortic#aneurysm#ruptured#biomechanics
