Vascular Origin Stories is a podcast series that explores the fun and engaging stories that shaped vascular surgery.

Today's episode will be the second part of a multi-episode series exploring how the young battalion surgeons serving in MASH units in the Korean war pioneered wartime vascular repair. Today we'll explore in detail the individual stories of adversity, courage, and perseverance that led to the re-introduction of arterial repair in the military. Representative images, significant sources for the episode, and a complete reference list can be found on the episode webpage.
