Anatomical heart within a classical geometric circle, the Ars Longa Ventures emblem
Ars longa, vita brevis

The art is long.
The work endures.

Ars Longa Ventures brings the judgment of a dual-trained cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon to the future of medicine.

We advise across cardiovascular innovation, medical devices, healthcare strategy, education, and business—where clinical reality must meet ambitious ideas.

Our name comes from the ancient maxim ars longa, vita brevis: life is brief, but the craft, knowledge, and impact we leave behind can endure.

The podcast · Coming soon

Medicine is more than technique.

ARS LONGA explores medicine not simply as a science, but as one of humanity’s oldest attempts to understand life itself. Through conversations spanning philosophy, history, medicine, and the metaphysics of healing, we will examine the questions that persist beyond the limits of science: suffering and mortality, meaning and consciousness, the nature of healing, and what it means to live well in the face of our own impermanence.

Drawing from physicians and philosophers, ancient traditions and modern medicine, existentialism and the lived experience of illness, Ars Longa is ultimately a conversation about the human condition.
