Jacob Soucy (@JacobWSoucy) hosts an inside look at a timely and thought-provoking editorial published in The Vascular Specialist, the official news magazine of the Society for Vascular Surgery. In this episode, we explore the introduction of preference signaling to the integrated vascular surgery match through the lens of the editorial "This Signal Brings Noise." The discussion examines whether signaling addresses problems that exist within the vascular surgery match, how signals may influence interview selection, and the potential unintended consequences of introducing artificial scarcity into an already highly successful match process. Jacob speaks with Dr. Malachi G. Sheahan III about the motivation behind the piece, the problems preference signaling is intended to solve, how applicants and programs may approach the new system, and why signaling may turn the application process into a strategic game. They also discuss application review, virtual versus in-person interviews, the role of program reputation and mentorship in applicant decision-making, and what the vascular surgery community should watch as signaling is implemented for the first time.

Welcome back to the Audible Bleeding Series: Landmark Papers in Vascular Surgery. In this episode, Audible Bleeding editor John Culhane and co-host Dr. Jesse Columbo are joined by our guests, Dr. David Stone, Dr. Salvatore Scali, and Dr. Anders Wanhainen to unpack one of the longest-running debates in aortic surgery: when (and whether) to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. We'll start our episode with the open-repair era and the two trials that set the basis for the 5.5 cm threshold—UKSAT and ADAM—then move into the early EVAR years with PIVOTAL and CAESAR, which asked whether fixing smaller aneurysms with endovascular technology could do better. Finally, we'll look at how modern screening programs, improved medical therapy, and current guidelines have reshaped the practical decisions we make for these patients every day.
