Bicuspid Aortic Foundation Honors Dr. Randall Griepp
The Foundation's first Distinguished Scientist Award was presented to Professor Randall B. Griepp, MD, at a dinner in his honor on April 10, 2005 in San Francisco.
Dr. Griepp's numerous pioneering contributions to the surgical treatment of aortic aneurysm and dissection in the chest have greatly advanced the ability to address even the most difficult aspects of these conditions.
His ground breaking paper on the aortic arch in 1975 opened the door of hope to those patients with arch aneurysms.
In addition to providing aortic surgical training to many residents, Dr. Griepp has been the program director of the Aortic Surgery Symposium for many years. Since its inception this Symposium has been invaluable, providing an international surgical forum focused solely on the treatment of the thoracic aorta.
The Bicuspid Aortic Foundation is deeply grateful to Dr. Griepp for his tremendous contributions in the United States, and through sharing his knowledge with other surgeons, touching the lives of those with Thoracic Aortic Disease through out the world.
The above is shared here from the BAF website.
September 2022 - The Torch is Passed
Dr. Griepp carried the torch of light and hope with courage and humility, fully devoting his many talents to pioneer life-saving surgeries in the face of formidable cardiac and thoracic aortic diseases.
As of this writing, his published work spans approximately 50 years, encompassing heart and thoracic aortic disease surgery. (1)
It is for others now, to carry the torch high, without wavering.
May they be inspired to do so with humility, integrity, scientific rigor, wisdom, skill, and courage, carrying high the flame passed on to them.
With deepest gratitude
to Dr. Randall Griepp
and heartfelt sympathy to his family,
The Bicuspid Aortic Foundation
