Rationale

The existing aha 2022 citation for the Multidisciplinary Aortic Team recommendation is directly superseded by the ACC/AHA Aortic Disease Guidelines (PMID 36480976, key AHA), which explicitly addresses the move toward multidisciplinary teams and specialized centers for aortic disease. Per the stale guideline replacement instructions, the old citation has been replaced rather than co-cited, as both support the same claim. No other content changes are warranted; the rest of the section remains accurate and well-supported.

Content Changes

* Vascular surgery overlaps with cardiology, radiology, nephrology, and oncology.
* **Heart-team and vascular-team models** [@conte2019-gvg] are becoming standard for complex decision-making [@esc2018revasc].
* For aortic disease, a **Multidisciplinary Aortic Team (MAT)** is recommended to optimize outcomes in the management of complex thoracic and abdominal aortic pathology [@aha2022].[@aha2026].
* Integrated care models also extend to the management of common comorbidities, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib), where shared decision-making across specialties is essential for stroke prevention and perioperative management [@aha2023].
