1/8 Aortic graft enteric fistula & chronic occlusion of the SMA, A mini thread to explain our strategy in this high-risk scenario. #aortaEd
2/8 Early seventies patient, fever & weight loss w/ history of aortobifemoral graft done 9 years ago. CTA revealed duodenal fistula on the proximal aortic graft anastomosis 
3/8 Detailed analysis of the CTA showed long occlusion of the SMA, it is highly likely that IMA would be lost during the redo surgery
Today is our 1st #birthday! It’s been an amazing year establishing & growing a #community of #inclusivity in #aorticdissection. Like everyone, the past year has been trying. But we're reflecting on the highlights of what has been achieved so far. Please read on 🧵👇
We spoke at 25+ events on a mission to update & spread #AortaEd across the patient pathway. Partnering with @OFFICIALWMAS @ParamedicsUK @nhsswft @bsms_ctss @SCTSUK @cpdme @AssocEmergMedIE @NCAlliance_NHS @RCollEM @EuropSocEM @acutemedicine @CDDFTNHS +more
#Podcasts are easily accessible #FOAMed, especially for teams on the road. We focused on reaching pre-hospital where swift AD diagnosis & management will prevent unnecessary deaths.

1/n Basically, if there is an arch aneurysm and a descending aneurysm, it’s pretty hard to get exposure to fix both. So, if you leave an “elephant trunk” behind, it dangles into the descending aneurysm. On return for DTA repair,
First described by Hans Borst in 1983.

2/n When it’s time to do the descending aorta via left thoracotomy, you can easily clamp the free floating elephant trunk, and stretch it down past the aneurysm. Once the distal anastomosis is sutured in place, the aneurysm is excluded. Simple.

3/n Of course, with this approach, the patient still needs two highly invasive open operations.
Enter #TEVAR, in the early 1990s. First pioneered by Mike Dake, Scott Mitchell, and Craig Miller @StanfordCTSurg in 1992, these home-brewed devices were quickly refined.
