Such an important topic as we look to recruiting and retraining a diverse workforce. This was a true labor of love after having my own twins during training.

“Guidance to Mitigate Occupational Risks for the Pregnant Vascular Surgery Trainee” With a more diverse workforce, we must support all. Fantastic work by @KatDiLosa and the rest of the team to spearhead an important topic in vascular surgery training! jvsvi.org/article/S2949-…

Work pain is risk factor for vascular surgery trainee burnout Of 527 trainees, 38% reported moderate/severe pain after a full day of work w/ 73.6% using ergonomic adjustments & 67.0% used OTC meds. More women reported moderate to severe pain than men. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My partner had her @WellsFargo checking and savings accounts cleaned out by scammers, including a credit card cash advance to increase the balance first. Gave NO personal or security info to anyone. Bank has told us that it is her fault and they will not refund anything (1/x)

Solution for short landing zone in #TCAR in patients who are truly not candidates for CEA. Sew 10 mm Dacron graft conduit to common carotid. Remove sheath stopper to advance the sheath several centimeters in the conduit. Now you have 15 cm landing zone.

There’s been a lot of negativity on #VascularTwitter towards this technique but I think it has validity…. If a patient is deemed high risk for carotid endarterectomy but appropriate for TCAR, I’d think sewing on a conduit would be less strenuous than CEA 🤷🏼‍♂️ #jvscitXchat

For everyone doing CEA and CAS, this CMS National Coverage Determination (NCD 20.7) is an important topic, and you should consider weighing in. This proposal: -Will expand CMS coverage to patients previously only eligible for tf-CAS in a clinical trial. -Will expand coverage…

There are 8 days left to submit a public comment about @CMSGov proposed carotid artery stenting expansion. I just submitted my opinion - have you submitted yours?!? #DelayTheExpansion #CarotidEd @VascularSVS cms.gov/medicare-cover…

Stenter of a narrowed vessel… Fixer of a clotted graft… And I will HAVE my flow… In this case or the next. 💪

Device makers have bankrolled a cottage industry of doctors and clinics that perform artery-clearing procedures that can lead to amputations, a New York Times investigation found. It targets patients with a disease rarely requiring aggressive treatments. nyti.ms/44qZFLE

“Mistreatment was reported by 54.8% of trainees, with twice as many women reporting as men. Sources and forms of abuse are varied. Understanding the sources of mistreatment is critical to guide intervention strategies.” authors.elsevier.com/a/1h7Q62ecZf0m…
