@dantroha @draftsim Congratulations Dan! Didn't know you sold the company, but you did an amazing job with it and very happy for you. What's next for you?

[Timothy Fernandes, MD, MPH @DrTimFernandes]

I'm happy to share our recent publication on the safety and efficacy of PTE surgery for patients with chronic thromboembolic disease but no pulmonary hypertension at rest. Less complications than CTEPH, no deaths and immediate improvement in PA compliance!

@ZB_Steele Congratulations! I have heard great things about the book and want to read it, but I mostly listen to audio books. Is that in the works?

Wishing a joyful retirement to the truly remarkable Dr. Kim Kerr, Vice Chief of @ucsdpccm. Your decades of dedication have had a profound impact on our patients, students, and the field of pulmonology. Thank you for everything! Your legacy at UCSD Health will certainly live on.

My OpEd piece today in the Los Angeles Times in response to the strange email request that showed up in almost 2 million federal workers' email boxes this past Saturday.

@FSotoMD One additional tip: can also, very slowly, partially deflate the balloon if not in appropriate wedge position (rather than inflating). The smaller balloon volume/size can be propelled by flow a little more distally and yield a proper wedge tracing.

@DrTimFernandes presenting the importance of CPET in post-PE patients. @accpchest #CHEST2024 @belindariveramd

What an amazing achievement from the best team!!!

Post-PE dyspnea is common but invasive CPET can identify if chronic clot is cause of dyspnea leading to #CTEPD with exercise PH, elevated dead space, and/or small stroke volume augmentation #PERT @DrTimFernandes @ucsdpccm @PERTConsortium

[Timothy Fernandes, MD, MPH @DrTimFernandes]

Dr. Morris from @ucsdpccm waxing eloquently about post PE dyspnea at the @PERTConsortium. #PERT2024

[Jenny Yang @JennyYangMD]

Dr. Michael Madani reminding us all that #PTE surgery is still the best treatment for operable #CTEPH. At @UCSDHealth, we’ve now done >5000 PTEs with <2% mortality! #PERT @ucsdpccm @PERTConsortium
