Research Interests: Aiello's work centers on vascular surgery innovations, endovascular techniques, surgical outcomes analysis, and healthcare economic modeling. His research integrates clinical practice improvements such as reimbursement strategies, procedural documentation optimization, and patient-centric care pathways. Key areas include fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, surgical training standards, and the impact of external factors (e.g., prior authorization policies, pandemic effects) on surgical practice.

Recent Article Trends: His publications emphasize vascular surgical advancements, reimbursement dynamics, and clinical documentation improvements. Over 80% of his work addresses vascular diseases and general surgery, with frequent co-authorship collaborations (e.g., Schanzer, Simons, Messina). Top themes include endovascular repair complexity, healthcare economic analyses, and surgical training outcomes.

Grants & Advising: While specific grant details are not listed, his research aligns with federally funded initiatives in vascular surgery and healthcare economics. He mentors vascular surgery residents and contributes to national task forces (e.g., Society for Vascular Surgery).

Labs & Teams: Active in the Vascular Surgery Division at UMass Chan, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams on complex aortic repair programs and surgical quality improvement initiatives.
