Congratulations to the incredible teams at Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute on completing 5,000 TAVR procedures! 🎉 This achievement reflects years of innovation, collaboration and compassionate care — helping thousands of patients regain quality of life through minimally invasive cardiovascular treatment. We’re proud to celebrate every physician, APP, nurse, technologist, anesthesiologist and support team member who made this possible. Here’s to continuing to advance heart and vascular care for our community! ❤️

A remarkable example of teamwork, precision and advanced care close to home. 💙 A multidisciplinary surgical team at Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute recently completed a highly complex cancer surgery involving the removal of a kidney and tumor requiring advanced vascular precision and coordinated care across multiple specialties. Through careful planning and teamwork between surgeons, anesthesia teams and operating room staff, the procedure was completed safely and successfully with the patient now recovering well. “This case shows what is possible when specialists come together with a shared focus on the best outcome possible for the patient,” said Ryan Bird, MD, vascular surgeon at Kaleida Health. This case highlights how Kaleida Health continues to bring innovative, highly specialized care close to home for our community. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eTamUnVq
