 My name is Kanjan Nagarshath. Everyone calls me KJ. I'm a faculty member here at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I'm in the Department of Surgery and the Division of Vascular Surgery. I'm the medical director of the office-based laboratory here. I co-direct the limb preservation program. I'm the medical director of the Vascular Progressive Care Unit, and I'm the medical director of the NIH Imogen Core Lab here at the University. I do three things every day. I teach the residents and fellows vascular surgery. I take care of patients on a daily basis, and I do research. So the primary focus of my practice at this point is limb preservation, preventing amputation, and working with peripheral arterial and peripheral venous disease. I also direct our center or program on compressive disorders. So I deal with a lot of vascular compressive disorders like renal vein entrapment or not cracker, median arcute ligament, methanol, and SMA syndrome. For the peripheral arterial disease, what we do is we are very aggressive in getting blood flow down when there's no blood flow, and this is for people that have pain in their legs or wounds that aren't healing. The vast majority of patients that come to me are people that have been told they need an amputation. And in those patients, we have about a 60% rate of preventing the amputation in patients that were referred for an amputation. I'm boarded in general surgery, I'm boarded in trauma surgery, I'm boarded in critical care surgery, I'm boarded in acute care surgery, and vascular surgery. I actually became a vascular surgeon to become a better trauma surgeon because that was my first love. I trained here at Shock Trauma, and I fell in love with vascular surgery during my training. I fell in love with the patient population, especially the ones that have leg wounds and need amputations to try to prevent that, and I fell in love with these venous and vascular compressive disorders. So that turned me from a trauma surgeon into a vascular surgeon. It's one of the most rewarding things I do is when someone's been referred for an amputation, we're able to save the leg, and they can come walking into my office. That's probably one of the most rewarding things for me as a clinician, and I tell the patients up front that these things are long shots, but if we can do it, we'll do it together, and I'm there with them the entire way, every step of the way, and I have a bunch of patients that come dancing into my office after everything's said and done, their legs saved, and they're so happy.
