Fellowship roles and official sources

The May 2026 archived AATS Foundation programme explicitly names Marek Ehrlich as AATS host member in Vienna. Current MedUni Vienna staff and aortic-team pages corroborate his cardiac-surgery/aortic leadership and attributed portrait. This is a historical programme-host relationship, not confirmation that the closed fellowship is recruiting or that he currently accepts individual fellows.

Faculty overview

About Marek Ehrlich

Marek Ehrlich is a cardiac surgeon at the Medical University of Vienna, where the current departmental staff directory identifies him as an associate professor and lead of the aortic disease programme. The university’s aortic-team biography describes his work in Vienna and a period at Mount Sinai in New York, with clinical and research interests in aneurysm surgery. The archived AATS thoracic-aortic fellowship names him as its Vienna host member. That historical link does not establish a current fellowship vacancy or personal supervision agreement.
