Rationale

The task identifies aha 2023 as a stale citation to be replaced by the superseding AHA guideline (PMID 36480976) when the same claim is supported. The AFib/shared decision-making sentence used aha 2023 for a claim about multidisciplinary perioperative management — a topic directly addressed by the ACC/AHA Aortic Disease guideline on multidisciplinary teams and specialized centers. Since AHA is already present in the section and covers this domain, the stale citation is replaced rather than co-cited. No new citation keys are needed as AHA already exists in the chapter.

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 [@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].[@aha2026].
