Today, I reached a milestone, having completed my 3,800th thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Back in May 2000, I performed my 1,510th, surpassing the previous record holder, Dr. E. Stanley Crawford's 1,509th. Many thanks to the team that made this possible.

There will never again be another surgeon who does 3800+ open thoracoabdominal aneurysm repairs.

Huge congratulations to my friend and mentor Joseph Coselli, MD BCM_Surgery.. There is no one like you!! #GOAT #AortaEd AATS
