Vascular Diseases and Surgery

2013

The Division of Vascular Diseases and Surgery continues to provide exemplary care to the citizens of Ohio and the surrounding area. We had more applicants this year for our fellowship position than ever before and continue to provide an extraordinary experience for our trainees. We did experience a reduction in our number of cases performed over the past year but the complexity has remained as high as ever. Our primary mission is excellence in patient care. Our vascular clinics consistently achieve exceptional patient satisfaction ratings. Knightsbridge Vascular Surgery clinic achieved Quarterly Patient Satisfaction Awards for the third quarter 2012 timeframe with a satisfaction rating of 92.7%, and fourth quarter with a rating of 94.7%. Division of Vascular Diseases & Surgery physician team for Inpatient area received a BRAVO Patient Satisfaction Quarterly Achievement Award for 2013. We are designated a Level One CardioVascular Emergency System and as an Aortic Center of Excellence, Patrick Vaccaro, MD

with an interdisciplinary team of vascular surgeons, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologist and cardiologist to care for patients with diseases of the aorta.

We are committed to training the next generation of vascular surgeons. Through our General Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program our faculty have trained 26 vascular surgeons who are currently practicing in the United States and international communities. Division chief Patrick Vaccaro, MD was recognized by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, College of Medicine and the Department of Surgery for the “Excellence in Teaching Award.” Bhagwan Satiani, MD implemented and leads the Faculty Leadership Institute, a novel business skills training program, in the College of Medicine’s Center for Faculty Advancement, Mentoring and Engagement. Jean Starr, MD is an ongoing member of Society of Vascular Surgery Women’s Leadership Committee and in the past year received an award for $5,000 from the Society of Vascular Surgeons as a Women’s Leadership Grant. In research, Dr. Cameron Rink directs a robust lab obtaining a 7% in fundable score for his most recent RO1 submission to the NIH. This should result in a grant of $1.9 million in direct and indirect funds starting December 2013. Dr. Rink received a first place young scientist award at the 6th Annual Translational to Clinical Regenerative Medicine Wound Care Conference and he continues his research on cerebrovascular collaterals and acute ischemic stroke for which he has an active award from the American Heart Association. During this academic year division faculty members published 57 scholarly articles, books, chapter’s abstracts, and posters. Michael Go, MD was awarded the Jack R. Pfeifer Best Venous Paper Award at the 2012 Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society Meeting.

Division of Vascular Diseases & Surgery 2012-2013 Annual Report Overview The Division of Vascular Diseases and Surgery has continued to provide exemplary care to the citizens of Ohio and the surrounding area. We had more applicants this year for our fellowship position than ever before and continue to provide an extraordinary experience for our trainees. We did experience a reduction in our number of cases performed over the past year but the complexity has remained as high as ever. Dr. Starr remains one of our most productive surgeons in terms of our RVU output and at the same times has expanded her national recognition. She had two publications in peer reviewed journals and two abstracts this year and remains on the post-graduate educational committee of the Society of Vascular Surgeons. During the past national meeting she moderated one of the breakfast sessions. She also remains an ongoing member of Society of Vascular Surgery Women’s Leadership Committee and in the past year received an award for $5,000 dollars from the Society of Vascular Surgeons as a Women’s Leadership Grant. She has also been instrumental in bringing the institutions Vascular Equality Initiative to fruition and remains an active member on the Heart and Vascular Center Executive Committee. She has a paper presentation at this year’s Mid-Western Vascular Surgical Society Meeting and continues to add clinical trials to the division. Dr. Michael Go also remains one of our busiest clinical surgeons and at the same time consistently scores extremely high in patient satisfaction. During the past year he had four peer reviewed publications and 15 presentations. His most recent was at the Mid-Western Vascular Surgical Society in Milwaukee Wisconsin where he won the John R. Pfeifer Award for Outstanding Venous Paper. He also remains the principle investigator or co-investigator on 5 protocols and continues to enter patients into his Basic Science Stem Cell study for nonreconstructable extremity ischemia. He had two papers accepted for presentations to the MidWestern Vascular Surgical Society Meeting which will occur this fall. Dr. Vermilion continues to be the Director of Utilization for the Medical Center while still running a robust venous practice at Vein Solutions. Dr. Haurani has now completed 18 months on the faculty and also remains a clinical busy. He recently returned from training for the insertion of fenestrated endografts for juxtarenal aneurysm repair. He is the first individual trained from this medical center for the application of this technique. During the past year he has also had one case report published and has had three presentations, two at The Society of Clinical Vascular Surgery and one at The American Venous Forum. Dr. Litzendorf has spent the better part of the year developing a vascular practice at OSU East and during this past winter gave birth to her second child. She will be leaving our practice at the end of July to enter a private practice in the state of Maryland. She will be missed. Dr. Satiani continues to be extremely productive. He continues to run the practice management seminars for the residents including master students and work with the residents on their clinical research projects. He remained productive in his reading of the vascular labs and continues to run both the vascular lab at OSU main and OSU East. He has obtained ICAVL accreditation for

both labs. He had seven peer-reviewed publications and two posters during the past year and also three non-peer reviewed or online publications. He had seven national or regional presentations and twelve local presentations. He co-edited an Atlas of Vascular Diseases this year which will be published at the end of 2013. He continues to be the coordinator of the noninvasive vascular lab symposium which was expanded to two days since 2011 and remains extremely well attended. He is the director of the Faculty Leadership Institute for FAME and at a national level is on two committees for the Society of Vascular Surgery. He also was he guest reviewer for three journals during the past year. He was appointed Commissioner of the State of Ohio Minority Health Commission by Governor Kasich as well.

This should result in a grant of $1.9 million in direct and indirect funds starting December 1st. Also during the past year he has received recognition as an entrepreneur scholar by the technology and commercialization office at The Ohio State University and was appointed as an instructor in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. He was a judge at two competitions this year and continues to mentor first year graduate students in the interdisciplinary human nutrition doctoral program. He received a first place young scientist award at the 6th Annual Translational to Clinical Regenerative Medicine Wound Care Conference and he continues his research on cerebrovascular collaterals and acute ischemic stroke for which he has an active award from the American Heart Association. He has had one peer-reviewed publication the past year which appeared in the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism and he had on international presentation at The Palm International Nutraceutical Conference held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dr. Vaccaro will complete his MBA at Fisher in three months and received the Excellence in Teaching Award for the College of Medicine and the Department of Surgery.
