Elliott Bennett-Guerrero is a professor of anesthesiology currently serving Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Additionally, Elliott Bennett-Guerrero acts as director of perioperative clinical research at the Duke Clinical Research Institute, where he leads extensive research projects examining issues regarding blood transfusion during coronary artery bypass surgery.
Patients diagnosed with severe coronary heart disease may be recommended for a type of open heart surgery known as coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG, surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon grafts a healthy artery from another location within the body, usually the chest or leg, and binds it to the blocked coronary artery, so as to bypass the blocked portion of it. This rerouting allows blood to flow freely to the heart. CABG surgery may be performed on more than one blocked coronary artery at a time. CABG is effective in reducing angina and strengthening the pumping action of a weakened heart. Although repeat surgery may be necessary over time for some patients, the majority report a reduction or elimination of symptoms and a significantly improved quality of life.

For more than a decade, Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero has served as director of perioperative clinical research at the Duke Clinical Research Institute in Durham, North Carolina. Outside of his work at Duke, Dr. Bennett-Guerrero funds a scholarship for future public defenders at the University of Colorado Law School.
Students and faculty at the University of Colorado Law School recently welcomed U.S. Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonin Scalia to their campus, where he delivered the law school’s annual John Paul Stevens Lecture on October 1, 2014. Scalia’s lecture, entitled “Constitutional Interpretation,” was presented to an in-house audience of hundreds of people at the Byron R. White Center and live video streamed to a number of area schools, including Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Fort Lewis College in Durango, and the University of Wyoming Law School in Laramie. Now in its fourth year, the Stevens Lecture brings prominent jurists to the school to explore current judiciary topics. Previous Stevens Lecture speakers include Justices Sandra Day O’Connor, John Paul Stevens, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. More information about the Stevens Lecture and other White Center events can be found at www.byronwhitecenter.org. |
