title = "1992: Parodi, montefiore, and the first abdominal aortic aneurysm stent graft in the United States",
abstract = "In 1990 Juan C. Parodi performed the first endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in Buenos Aires. Two years later, in 1992, Parodi and Claudio Schonholz visited Montefiore Medical Center in New York to perform with us the first endovascular AAA repair to be done in the United States. Since then the Montefiore/Einstein vascular group has performed 1522 endovascular grafts in 674 patients for many types of vascular lesions using a variety of both surgeon-made and industry-made devices. The purpose of the present article is to describe the events that surrounded the performance of the first seminal endovascular AAA repair at our institution on November 23, 1992.",

note = "Funding Information: These details were worked out in several longdistance telephone discussions. It was agreed that it would be best to treat the patient in New York and that this might best be accomplished around the time of the Montefiore/Einstein annual meeting to be held in November 1992. However, several conditions had to be fulfilled. The first was that Johnson & Johnson, who had acquired the rights to Parodi's and Palmaz's patents, would have to approve the use of a large Palmaz stent in the United States since no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Investigational Device Exemption yet existed for that stent. Parodi also requested that Drs. Schonholz, a talented interventionalist with whom he worked, and Hector Barone, who was assembling various components of the endovascular grafting system, also be brought to New York to participate in the procedure. Funds to bring the three Argentinians to the United States and keep them here for the duration of the symposium and the surgical procedure were obtained from a grant from the James Hilton Manning and Emma Austin Manning Foundation. Funding Information: This work was supported by grants from the U.S. Public Health Service (HL 02990–05), the James Hilton Manning and Emma Austin Manning Foundation, the Anna S. Brown Trust, and the New York Institute for Vascular Studies.",
