Vascular Origin Stories: Bridging the Gap - The Fabric of Aortic Repair - a podcast by NYP Vascular Fellows
from 2022-01-23T13:59:17
Vascular Origin Stories is a podcast series that explores the fun and engaging stories that shaped vascular surgery.
In today’s episode, we will explore the different materials used to try and repair and bridge aortic gaps. We’ll see attempts to treat aortic aneurysms with ligation, banding, and occlusion. How Albert Einstein’s abdominal aortic aneurysm was treated with cutting edge 1940s technology: cellophane. And how a young surgical research fellow, a stray suture, perseverance, and fast sewing machine skills ushered in the modern era of fabric grafts.
