The Division has grown to include twelve faculty who provide vascular and podiatric surgical services at six hospitals in the greater Los Angeles area. Embedded in the Division are two beacon programs: USC Comprehensive Aortic Center and the USC Limb Preservation Center which is part of the Southwestern Academic Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA).<\/p>\n<p>The USC Comprehensive Aortic Center oversees the regional aortic transfer program which brings close to 300 patients per year to Keck Medical Center with acute aortic syndromes including type A and B dissections and ruptured aortic aneurysms. Complementing this large aortic experience, is a clinical research program which includes an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) program for branch and fenestrated endograft treatment of aortic aneurysms and dissections, participation in numerous aortic device trials and collaborative research with the Viterbi School of Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>The objective of the USC Limb Preservation Center\/SALSA is to eliminate preventable amputation in people with diabetes.\u00a0The program is a collaborative clinical and research alliance that is dedicated to advancing care of the diabetic foot and preventing lower extremity amputations. The Center brings more than 1000 patients per year to our clinics from the Los Angeles region and around the world. Division faculty who are part of the Center are leaders in the American Limb Preservation Society (ALPS) and the Society for Vascular Surgery. DFCon, the largest annual meeting in the world dedicated to limb preservation is co-sponsored and organized by Center\/Division faculty.<\/p>\n<p>The above beacon programs, the excellent vascular and podiatric surgical faculty and the strong collection of unique hospital experiences, provide the resident\/fellow with an outstanding clinical experience in vascular surgery. The independent USC program in vascular surgery was accredited by the Residency Review Committee in Surgery on July 1, 2000. The integrated program was granted approval in October 2010. Both programs are fully accredited and conducted through the Department of Surgery at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-2-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-controls=\"section-1-2-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Curriculum<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-2-Ga1ey0kGWz\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-2-Ga1ey0kGWz\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Our program offers a robust educational curriculum. Integrated residents are initially fully immersed in the comprehensive general surgery curriculum when rotating on their core general surgery rotations. Residents during the first three years participate in the general surgery surgical simulation program, which includes protected time every week for simulation training. This simulation curriculum is differentiated by year of training and includes a PGY1 intern boot camp and progressive PGY2 and PGY3 procedural based training.<\/p>\n<p>Once residents have progressed to senior status (PGY4, PGY5) and joined with the independent vascular surgery fellows the educational curriculum is focused on vascular surgery and disease. This includes weekly teaching conferences giving the residents the opportunity to go through the critical thinking necessary to adequately prepare for complex vascular cases. In addition, there are regularly scheduled journal clubs and weekly interactive didactics that mirror the major vascular textbooks. Residents also have monthly sessions in our simulation center which includes unrestricted fresh tissue dissection that gives the opportunity for preparation for open vascular exposures and procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-3-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-controls=\"section-1-3-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Research Program<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-3-Ga1ey0kGWz\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-3-Ga1ey0kGWz\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>The USC vascular division is involved with every major ongoing clinical trial of advanced aortic endovascular devices.\u00a0 We are currently a leading enroller in the WL Gore TAMBE trial and Thoracic Branched Endograft trial, as well as being a pilot site for the ARISE (ascending aortic stent graft), and the Terumo Relay Branch (dual arch branch) trial.\u00a0 We were the nation&#8217;s leading enroller for the recently completed BEST-CLI trial.<\/p>\n<p>In additional to national trials our division is a prolific contributor of outcomes-based research and innovative technique papers.\u00a0 Some of the particular areas of research interest of faculty members include limb salvage, advanced endovascular aortic repair, aortic dissection, vascular trauma, treatment of mycotic aneurysms, TCAR, complex hemodialysis access management, and angiosome-based lower extremity revascularization.<\/p>\n<p>Our division has been awarded numerous research grants including a recent R01 grant.\u00a0 We collaborate with the Department of Engineering on several translational research projects and medical device projects.\u00a0 Our division has podium presentations at every national, regional, and local vascular meeting as well as at national and international surgical society meetings and trauma society meetings.\u00a0 Applicants with a strong interest in research will have no shortage of mentorship and projects to work on during their training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-4-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-controls=\"section-1-4-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Faculty<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-4-Ga1ey0kGWz\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-4-Ga1ey0kGWz\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/faculty-search\/sukgu-han\/\">Sukgu M.

Among the hospital\u2019s advanced services are neurointerventional radiology, minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery, robotic surgery, and endovascular aortic procedures. Surgical specialties include organ transplantation and neurosurgery, as well as vascular, cardiothoracic, bariatric, esophageal, orthopedic, and plastic and reconstructive surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>Keck Medical Center (KMC) includes a 411-bed university-affiliated teaching hospital as well as the 60 bed Norris Cancer Institute. KMC is located on the Health Sciences Campus which includes the USC Keck School of Medicine and the School of Pharmacy. In any given year, over 18,000 outpatient and inpatient procedures are performed at KMC. As a tertiary\/quaternary referral center for California, Nevada and Arizona, KMC provides care for the most acute and complex medical and surgical problems. In 2020, Keck Medical Center was number 18 in the US News and World Report hospital rankings. Both The USC Comprehensive Aortic Center and the Limb Preservation\/SALSA Programs are located at KMC.<\/p>\n<p>At any given time at KMC there are two senior vascular surgery residents\/fellows as well as a PGY3 and PGY1 surgical resident. The senior residents\/fellows are responsible for daily management of the vascular surgery service which includes a high percentage of patients requiring complex and re-do vascular surgery procedures. Vascular surgery faculty also perform a wide range of endovascular procedures, including aortic stent grafts, percutaneous angioplasty\/stents and diagnostic angiography. The residency team is also fully integrated into the activities of The USC Comprehensive Aortic Center and Limb Preservation\/SALSA programs. KMC has an active ICAVL accredited noninvasive vascular laboratory directed and managed by USC vascular surgery faculty.<\/p>\n<h3>Los Angeles General Medical Center<\/h3>\n<p>The new Los Angeles General Medical Center opened its doors in 2008 and sits adjacent to the historic General Hospital building in an area just northeast of downtown Los Angeles. The facility encompasses 1.5 million square feet, with 600 inpatient beds and 132 Emergency Department beds.<\/p>\n<p>A few unique features of this hospital are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the busiest level 1 trauma centers in the nation and treats over 28% of trauma victims in the region<\/li>\n<li>Employs approximately 1,000 interns and residents,\u00a03,000 nurses at all levels, and trains several hundreds of students in various healthcare professions<\/li>\n<li>Physician\/Surgeon attending staff are faculty of the University of Southern California<\/li>\n<li>Prides itself on serving any patient that comes through its doors regardless of socioeconomic or insurance status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The senior vascular resident along with a PGY3 and PGY1 resident manage a busy vascular service with a broad spectrum of vascular disease, including patients with atherosclerosis, embolic\/thrombotic disorders, arteritis and traumatic vascular injuries. The service is fully integrated with the Division\u2019s podiatric surgery faculty as well as the vascular medicine service of Los Angeles General Medical Center allowing for comprehensive care of the vascular patient.<\/p>\n<h3>USC Arcadia<\/h3>\n<p>USC Arcadia Hospital is a 348-bed community hospital located in the San Gabriel Valley with a busy emergency room and stroke center. At this site trainees will encounter a high volume of cases centered on dialysis access and peripheral arterial disease, giving the trainee the opportunity to fine tune the basic and fundamentals of vascular surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">USC Arcadia Hospital was founded in 1903 by the Women\u2019s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church. Having been founded in one of the busiest parts of the country, this full-service hospital has grown significantly in the last 100 years. We currently have 348 licensed beds, and treat more than 40,000 patients in the Emergency Department each year. This facility is outfitted with advanced diagnostic technology like the 320-slice CT scanner and high-definition MRI. We also manage state-of-the-art catheterization labs, electrophysiology, and neuro-interventional radiology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At USC Arcadia Hospital, we are constantly striving to meet the challenges of our local area. Hospital closures in the local area have placed greater demand on our emergency services and specialized care. We are completely dedicated to giving our community accessible, high-quality healthcare and we will continue to put our all into meeting these challenges and any others that come with the future.<\/p>\n<h3>USC\/Verdugo Venous Center<\/h3>\n<p>The outpatient center is home to our venous program which manages ambulatory venous disease. Residents\/fellows have the opportunity to learn the techniques necessary to perform all the current techniques for minimally invasive management of venous disease. Integrated within the center is an extension of our noninvasive vascular lab. Additionally, the center is located adjacent to USC Verdugo Hills Hospital that has an active wound care center.<\/p>\n<h3>Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center<\/h3>\n<p>Rancho Los Amigos is both an acute care and rehabilitation hospital in the DHS LA County health system. The limb preservation program is staffed by our podiatric faculty, who operate at this site for limb salvage surgical procedures. The Los Angeles General Medical Center vascular team works closely with the limb preservation staff at Rancho to help create a multidisciplinary limb preservation program with a focus on functional outcomes. Interfacility transfers occur frequently between the two sites to address circulatory disorders versus musculoskeletal impairments at the respective sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-7-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-controls=\"section-1-7-Ga1ey0kGWz\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">How to Apply<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-7-Ga1ey0kGWz\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-7-Ga1ey0kGWz\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>The Integrated Cardiothoracic Training Program at USC is currently accepting applications for two residents per year and accepts application through the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.aamc.org\/myeras-web\/#\/landing\">Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)<\/a>.
