Hi friends, I was watching this Tedtalk (unfortunately not allowed to post links yet) by a Vascular surgeon who talked about aortic arch debranching which seems stupid wicked cool, but I'm curious if vascular surgeons actually get to do that or if that's relegated to the CT surgeons?
Looking at clips of the procedure, it definitely employs a lot of vascular techniques that I'd assume the vascular guys would be the pros of. But it IS the thorax, so in my limited med student knowledge I think that forks it over to CT? Is it possible that both are able to do it (I mean the vascular guys get to do thoracic outlet syndrome) or is it strictly CT territory?
Just curious, and thanks for any insights!
