I’ll be Joining the cardiovascular mission going to Syria. I’ll be part of the vascular surgery team, my plan is to provide the education and guidance to doctors and residents, participate in creating the training curriculum for the vascular surgery residents/ fellows
Also, I will be performing open and endovascular interventions for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm peripheral vascular disease and carotid disease
Elderly patients with peripheral vascular disease aortic aneurysm and symptomatic carotid disease
Help with limb salvage for advanced ischemia patients
Repair of complex aortic aneurysms
Management of carotid disease with carotid endarterectomy
Training residents and fellows on the new available treatment options
It was a very successful trip. I was able to provide life-saving and limb saving surgeries to people who needed it. I performed complex tibial bypasses, carotid interventions and mesenteric bypasses on patients who had advanced peripheral vascular disease and needed intervention. I had the pleasure to train the doctors who were observing and participating in my surgeries. Also had the pleasure of training the surgical resident who were very eager to learn and participate in these complex surgeries.
Overall the machine was very successful and very rewarding from the clinical and teaching standpoint
I am very thankful to Doximity for helping me with this mission.
