I am so excited to be joining @UMontreal @chumontreal as a Vascular Surgeon and @CRCHUM as a surgeon-scientist! Immensely grateful for the support and value I will bring to the team in limb salvage and frailty! Great things to come! youtu.be/aG-_tLpq6ck

We’re excited to introduce the 2026–2027 cohort of the @JAMASurgery Health Services Research Manuscript Training Program!
This program provides graduating surgical trainees and early-career investigators with hands-on mentorship in the peer-review and publication process.

📣 @JAMA_current and the @JAMANetwork journals are issuing a call for papers on Women's Health.
Last year, we launched @JAMAWomenHealth, an initiative that offers expertly curated research and insights from work published in JAMA and the JAMA Network. An important goal of JAMA+ Women's Health is to shift the conversation about women’s health beyond the “usual” categories of #reproductive #health, #pregnancy, #menopause, and certain #cancers.
To align with the 2027 International Women’s Day, JAMA and the JAMA Network journals will publish women’s health articles across the full spectrum of health care on March 8, 2027.
This call for papers will prioritize timely and novel research articles and opinion manuscripts. Manuscripts submitted by November 15, 2026, will have the best chance for consideration for simultaneous publication on International Women’s Day.

🩸 When conventional access fails, change the angle! This case highlights basilic vein access and through-and-through recanalization to salvage an AV fistula with complete subclavian vein stent occlusion.

Better PAD care begins with seeing the disease differently. Honored to speak at #ESVS2026 to share our BTK imaging, redefining “no option CLTI”. Grateful to a forward-looking society helping move new science toward clinical practice. This is an incredible meeting and society!

Big series of AEF… Important lesson: maintain a high index of suspicion for AEF after TEVAR. Median presentation was 20 months after repair; all patients had fever, but only ~half had hematemesis and classic CTA findings were often absent in those undergoing surgery.
🚨 Aorto-esophageal fistula carries devastating risk. In this series, surgical treatment was associated with higher long-term survival than conservative management, with encouraging outcomes after two-stage aortic surgery.

PAD is tied to a sixfold spike in heart attack risk, yet it's often overlooked in women. SVS Ambassador Dr. Palma Shaw spoke with @washingtonpost about atypical symptoms and when to talk to your doctor: bit.ly/3Ty2NoP #HighwaytoHealth

Interesting new #CREST2 analysis in @JAMA_current:
At 4 years, neither CEA nor CAS improved cognitive outcomes vs intensive medical therapy in asymptomatic carotid stenosis
Important data when discussing intervention for asymptomatic disease.

💬 Perspective by Adam Sawatsky, MD, MS, and Andrea Leep Hunderfund, MD, MHPE: #PhysicianBurnout may reflect more than overwork. #Burnout can also indicate an identity crisis in #Medicine when market, managerial, and platform priorities conflict with professional commitments to patients and public trust.
Addressing burnout may therefore require structural changes in workflows, metrics, and technologies so that practice conditions support patient-centered care and professional judgment.
