As new surgical endovascular procedures increase, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, cardiac, neuro and vascular surgeons are requiring and enjoying a new idea in optimizing patient care, the hybrid operating room (OR).
In late 2003, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) in Philadelphia, PA, started pursuing the idea of building a hybrid OR. In January of 2005, HUP open its first hybrid OR, one of the first in this area. The second hybrid OR opened in January of 2010 (see Fig. 1).

Dear Patients and Colleagues,
Bruce Landau RT (R) ARRT
I am happy to introduce our interventional radiology colleague, Mr. Bruce Landau who I have known for many years and consider the best in the business when it comes to radiation technology. Bruce, like many radiation technologists, has dedicated his career to perfecting and honing his skills to master the equipment and the delivery of image guidance in the operating room to help surgeons better care for their patients. The Radiation Technologist is an integral part of the operating team in many surgical procedures. My former chairman at the University of Pittsburgh, L. Dade Lunsford, once pronounced that the success of certain highly technical image guided procedures in the Operating Room depended not as much on the surgeon, but on how good the Radiation Technologist was in that theatre. When I used to work with Bruce years ago at St. Francis Medical Center, I always was comforted to know that he was in my room, because I knew he would ensure that our case went smoothly and that our patient was going to get the very best imaging.
I have asked Bruce to write as a guest blogger for PBSC and to help educate our patients about some of the cutting edge minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures we use for the treatment of stroke and aneurysms. This technology has revolutionized the way we care for our neurovascular patients. Mr. Landau’s article describes his involvement in the conception, design, and implementation of one of the strongest Interventional Vascular Centers in the world at the University of Pennsylvania.
The physicians at Princeton Brain and Spine Care frequently collaborate with UPenn’s center of excellence and are pleased to present you with this blog.

Published March 18, 2012 | In the December 11th, 2011 issue of Parks & Recreation magazine, author Matt Terl explored the issue of concussions in youth sports. The author featured the benefits of the education approach that has worked well in the Newtown Township (Pennsylvania) Parks and Recreation department, which in September partnered with Princeton Brain and Spine Care (PBSC) for a Concussion and Brain Injury Symposium.
As our own Dr. Shah helped spearhead this symposium event, Dr. Shah was interviewed for the Parks & Recreation magazine article. You can read a text reprint of the article and Dr. Shah’s comments here, or click here to view the magazine on line.
