Housing status impacts CLTI outcomes. Disparities exist in comorbidity profiles, access to healthcare, and social determinants, leading to varying presentations and outcomes.

A lot of talk of emergency department REBOA, but how many places are actually using it? Is it that widespread?
@HamzaHanifMD sought to answer that question using TQIP data from the @AmCollSurgeons with his paper hot off the press in @AmJSurgery.
Bottom line: Most centers have no documented ED use
2022 represents the most recent public dataset available, for which he found:
-195 out of 816 contributing trauma centers had documented use
-71% were level 1 centers, 29% were level 1, and <1% were level 3
-The most common post-REBOA hemorrhage control surgery was to the pelvis
A few caveats to note:
-Many centers were missing verification levels, so it may be underestimating some use
-Many procedures were missing procedure times, which limits our ability to sort out which ones occurred in the ED versus other locations, so they were excluded
-Underdocumentation is always a challenge within the registry

Today the first total percutaneous 3 vessel Endovascular arch repair of the Americas was done at UT Health Houston - Memorial Hermann Heart and Vascular Institute. Thx for all support from our multi-specialty team, Cook Medical and GE healthcare. New chapter is written in Houston
Fascinating to witness non-fluoroscopic intravascular navigation in complex aortoiliac reconstructions. Long way to go!

Once you have vascular control which is the hard part, vascular suturing on the robot is easier and more fun than open as you have 9x magnification, articulated instruments, no tremor, and you’re sitting comfortably 😅

Our recent NIS database analysis showed higher mortality risk among females and lower mortality risk in African Americans with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. Females were also less likely to undergo endovascular procedures.

Does whole blood and platelets save lives? Yes.
Does whole blood and platelets increase your risk of PE and DVT compared to the other products? Also, yes.
@fisherad1 presents our analysis from TQIP data evaluating these associations at @SWSCongress.
More details coming with the full paper!
