Congrats to Dr. @RachaelEssig and Dr. Jessica Magarinos on their graduation from the @UofUCTSurgery fellowship program last night. Our program is one of the oldest in the nation, with its genesis in 1958.
Dr. Essig goes to Vanderbilt for a 6 month advanced heart failure/transplant fellowship prior to her start on faculty @iu_ctsurgery . Dr. Magarinos will be joining the Thoracic Surgery group at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington.
Very proud of you Rachael and Jess. Congrats! – at Salt Lake City, UT
A thorough gentleman & a selfless leader!
It was an honor to learn from him as an intern on the vascular service & I can’t thank him enough for taking the time to chat with me on @SurgeonsATT
The Society for Vascular Surgery mourns the passing of Bruce A. Perler, MD, MBA, FACS, DFSVS, a past president of SVS and a leader whose contributions helped shape the future of vascular surgery.
During his 44-year tenure as a surgeon at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Perler established the Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy. He trained generations of surgeons in the art and science of vascular surgery. His humble demeanor, prodigious skill and evident mastery are cherished by all the Halsted residents who knew him and live on as his legacy in American surgery.
Dr. Perler was internationally recognized for his clinical expertise in carotid arterial disease, having delivered nearly 400 lectures nationally and internationally. His hundreds of publications, research and chapters have been cited over 12,000 times.
In addition, he served as Senior Editor of the Journal of Vascular Surgery, co-edited three editions of Rutherford’s Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy and held leadership roles with the American Board of Surgery and several vascular societies.
Dr. Perler received the 2025 SVS Lifetime Achievement Award, the Society’s highest honor, recognizing a career defined by exceptional clinical care, academic leadership and enduring contributions to the advancement of vascular surgery. This was his third lifetime achievement awarded by his colleagues in surgical and interventional societies, a fitting tribute for a career that reflected not only clinical excellence and international leadership, but a deep understanding of the evolution of the field of vascular surgery over the past decades.
Dr. Perler is survived by his wife Patti and his daughter Rachel. His son Mason passed away in 2024. SVS extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
