Is Massachusetts a Medtech hub that benefits from industry that has developed there close to all the universities? Is the infrastructure for both the creation of device ideas and the development of device ideas unique to the state of Massachusetts? Why can medical device companies gain a foothold in Massachusetts that they cannot gain elsewhere?

How does the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in Baltimore PC evaluate the continued failure rates of stent-graft repair? Why do most practitioners feel that choosing between endovascular repair with endoleaks or EVAR graft migration and open surgical repair is a toss up considering the complexity of EVAR?

Does a the study challenge the current recommendations that support AAA screenings only in men? Are older women with a history of smoking, heart disease also prone? Why do the current guidelines recommend that screening be only performed and reimbursed by Medicare for men aged 65 to 75?
