2/ What is needed to foster the collaboration needed to ensure progress in the regulatory environment? #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Dr Ouzounian defines high risk arch repair as being based on patient + technical factors as well as presentation of the disease. #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Is staging necessary for patients with #TAAA + what are the associated risks, asks ⁦@benstarnesmd⁩. #CriticalIssuesAmerica

3/ Finally, Dorothy Abel reflects on what is required for a bright future in endograft regulation so patients are protected + innovation comes to market in a timely way. #CriticalIssuesAmerica

“Shaggy scores” becomes the focus of the discussion in the final session of Day1! #CriticalIssuesAmerica

@hopkinssurgery represents at #CriticalIssuesAmerica! #AortaEd #WomanStrong @CaitlinWHicks @b_sorb

This two are my best mentors ! @GustavoOderich @StephanHoulon #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Dorothy Abel discusses the past, present + future of endograft regulation. ⁦@VascularNews⁩ put 3 questions to Dorothy. 1/ Why is there such a regulatory divergence between the USA + EU? #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Finally, Prof. Stéphan Haulon gives his early results for endovascular ascending arch aneurysm repair. #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Great to be with the Toronto Aortic Team at #CriticalIssuesAmerica in Miami. Congrats to our advanced aortic fellow Dr. Julia Chen for a great presentation! @UofTCVsurgery @UofTVascular @UHN @UHN_Surgery @VascularNews

Huge congratulations to our postdoc research fellow, @AidinBaghbaniMD, who was the winner of the #CriticalIssuesAmerica poster presentation competition in Miami, Florida! 👏👏👏 #CardioTwitter #research

Here @aorticsurgeon asks the aortic community to pay attention to social deprivation in patients with aortic disease. Screening for social deprivation is possible. Finally, social prescribing may have a role + is being piloted in east London, UK. #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Early #TEVAR for #IMH is like early PVI for #claudication. Both unnecessary! Maybe a new topic for investigation of #overuse? @UnTBAD @MartyMakary #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Better preparation, flushing + fastidious technique reduces stroke rates in acute Type B dissection patients undergoing #TEVAR according to ⁦data from the #STABLE2 trial, says PI Dr Joseph Lombardi. #CriticalIssuesAmerica

Excellent presentation by @ShereneShalhub on genetic thoracic aortopathies. Available endografts aren’t suited for the fragile tissue of patients with TGFbeta mutations. There’s need for device innovation! #CriticalIssuesAmerica @VascularNews

Shoutout to senior vascular resident @ClayWiske presenting at #CriticalIssuesAmerica alongside our esteemed faculty Drs. Neal Cayne and Frank Veith! Beautiful day to talk about #vascularsurgery #aortaed #callvascular

Update from Dr. Christian Etz on segmental embolization for TAAA repair. Promising technology - trial is halfway done recruiting! Looking forward to the results. #CriticalIssuesAmerica
