Our rockstar @harvardmed student @RobertSemco on palliative care in CT surgery: Despite rising consults for post-cardiotomy shock, only 25% of these patients receive palliative care nationally. Underutilized and overdue. Incredible and important work, Rob! Mentored by our own @AkiItohMD #AATS2025

Congratulations @RobertSemco for a great presentation at the @WTSA_Surgery! Congratulations to Jake Awtry and the rest of the team (@TFaggionVinholo, Siobhan McGurk, @Hirji1987, Ashraf Sabe, @ma_hussainMD, @AortaSurg) for this important study. “Transfusion with 4 or more units of pRBCS in TAAA repair is associated with mortality and morbidity. Patients may benefit from preoperative optimization and less restrictive hemoglobin goals.”
