“Choose the right operation” may be less important than “choose the right patient.”
Nice @VascularSVS#VAM26 talk by @Jayer_Chung: similar outcomes between open & endovascular-first approaches for ALI, with Rutherford severity the dominant predictor of amputation-free survival.
💉 Have we been overlooking the proximal ulnar artery?
In this series, externally supported proximal ulnar AVFs achieved a 77% unassisted maturation rate, outperforming traditional brachial and proximal radial inflow options.

Excited to share our latest publication on endovascular septal #fenestration and stenting with #IVUS for #aorticdissection-related dynamic malperfusion, including a step-by-step illustration of this technique with a transfemoral Rösch-Uchida needle (or steerable sheath). #AortaEd
I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee.
It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency.
It says there are 5 levels of work:
Level 1: “There is a problem.”
Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.”
Level 3: “Here’s the problem, here are some possible causes, and here are some possible solutions.”
Level 4: “Here’s the problem, here’s what I think caused it, here are some possible solutions, and here’s the one I think we should pick.”
Level 5: “I identified a problem, figured out what caused it, researched how to fix it, and I fixed it. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.”
Using this framework, here’s what I say to every new employee…
You will live at Level 4 from Day 1 and as we build trust you will rise to Level 5.
Being high agency doesn’t just mean tackling problems in this way. It means your entire way of working should be oriented to being a Level 4+ employee.
Plz feel free to steal it as well.
And ty @stephsmithio for the framework!
🍼🫀 A ruptured aortic aneurysm—in a 2-month-old. Congenital AAA (cAAA) is exceedingly rare and often fatal, yet this infant survived surgical repair. A remarkable case showing that even the tiniest patients can survive with decisive vascular intervention.

NEWS: Neuralink has released what their product evolution will look like in the next few years.
Highlights:
• Q3 2025: They are planning to implant directly into the speech cortex to directly decode attentive words from brain signals to speech.
• 2026: Triple number of electrodes from 1,000-3,000 for more capabilities. Planning on having first blindsight participant to enable navigation.
2027: Triple number of electrodes again to 10,000. Enable for the first time multiple implants (motor cortex, speech cortex, visual cortex).
2028: Get to 25,000 channels per implant. Have multiple of these. Have ability to access any part of the brain for psychiatric conditions, pain, and also start to demonstrate what it would be like to innovate with AI.
This is going to be incredible to watch unfold.
