Proud to share ARCH-ARC out today in Circulation 🔥 The endo arch world is moving FAST — branched/fenestrated devices, ascending endografts, total arch without sternotomy. We needed a framework to keep up. First-ever standardized endpoints for thoracic aortic arch trials: new aortic-specific neuro endpoints including structured neurocognitive testing, delirium protocols & spinal cord injury grading. A modified Type A Dissection Classification system to clarify arch involvement. A framework for multi-specialty collaboration. Real outcomes for real patients. It was a privilege to lead this alongside @AWBeckMD and couldn't be prouder of what this incredible international team built together 🫀🚀 #AorticSurgery #TEVAR #ArchARC

Congratulations to @BenjaminSmoodMD for his prestigious Mend a Heart Foundation Award from @TheCHF. Dr. Smood is a cardiac surgery resident pursuing his PhD in Cellular & Molecular Biology, focusing on novel interventions to treat lymphatic failure in congenital heart disease.
Hoping you might help. @AskTSA it has been 9 months since I applied for my TSA Precheck renewal. I call weekly, and each time I'm told my app is still in process. At this point, you have taken $70.00 for no service. Please refund ASAP. Terrble service.
