85 yo M Celect filter @cookvascular 6 mo ago for DVT/PE + contraindication to anticoagulation, here for retrieval. Unknown to us, spine surgery (outside hospital) did cement vertebroplasty of fused lumbars. Good thing that filter was there! Note ⬆️ flow azygous vein #iRad#FOAMed
@SIRspecialists@_backtable NPs and patient education videos (@theholvangroup) take some of the pressure and tedium off our IRs. The NPs use the videos to help their efficiency which minimizes their #burnout as well.
Lucky today. First pass wire finds true lumen. Primary angioplasty results in near perfect Angio. “Hey. My foot feels better!” So grateful for my mentors, being a part of the IR Family and helping my community. #IR#SaveTheLeg#Nof1
@NinaVincoffMD Not at all. Still stings after 18 years for me. We have a tendency to remember the few things we wish we did differently rather than the many things we do right. Part of our DNA.
After I saw this for the first time, a quick search found lots of articles on COVID and #PETCT. This person was asymptomatic and having a PET for tumor surveillance. Subsequent nasopharyngeal swab positive for #COVID19. #StaySafe
