Firas F. Mussa

“Dr. Mussa is nationally and internationally recognized as a thought leader in the treatment of aortic dissection. In 2023, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded Dr. Mussa along with colleagues from SUNY Downstate and Duke University, the IMPROVE-AD trial. This is a multi-center, multi-million dollar, seven-year, randomized controlled trial examining the treatment efficacy of upfront thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) as compared to Standard of Care with medical therapy with selective TEVAR for patients with uncomplicated Type B aortic dissection (uTBAD). The primary outcomes of the trial were defined as: all-cause mortality and major aortic complications (MAC) at 4 years. IMPROVE-AD will be the most definitive study to address the management of uTBAD along with ancillary studies addressing genetics, imaging, and economic/quality of life outcomes. Dr. Mussa is a Distinguished Member of the Society of Vascular Surgery and serves as Distinguished Reviewer for the Journal of Vascular Surgery”.
