We’re joined by board certified Vascular Surgeon, Dr. Karthikeshwar Kasirajan.

Dr. Kasi has been the investigator in over 40 multicenter studies involving new stent grafts, thrombectomy catheters, and other advances in endovascular technology. In this part two episode with Dr. Kasi we hear him address issues with lack of pharmacogenomics testing, and the specific drug that causes the most frequent ER visits due to drug complications which can be avoided with proper testing!
