Why is critical limb ischemia still getting caught too late?
At TED 2025, Dr. Arthur Lee lays out the problem plainly: patients sit on a non-healing wound for weeks, or a falsely reassuring ABI sends everyone home, and by the time they reach a specialist the disease is already advanced and the window for easy limb salvage has narrowed. His answer comes back to education and awareness upstream.
He's also clear-eyed on where the field is going. Below-the-knee disease is still the frontier. The technology has made big strides in the larger vessels, but BTK needs real scientific advancement. And he makes a strong case that moving PAD care into the OBL and ASC has been a win for patients and physicians alike: staff who do these procedures all day, full control over the devices and technology you bring in, and legs treated as the priority instead of an add-on bumped behind cardiac cases.
Worth the watch if you care about how PAD gets diagnosed, treated, and where it's headed next.

"Young people, usually very smart, but almost to the point of not being able to get out of bed."
At TED 2025, Dr. Frank Arko discusses a subset of patients presenting with POTS who may have complex venous compression disorders that are often difficult to identify.
"They don't have May-Thurner... I don't know what they have. It's worse than May-Thurner."
From venous compression syndromes to their impact on venous return and cardiovascular symptoms, Dr. Arko shares why these challenging cases have become an area of growing interest in vascular medicine.

How dry is “dry” after large-bore closure?

AI can now detect aortic dissection from a chest X-ray with remarkable accuracy.
The future isn’t physicians vs. AI.
It’s physicians + AI.
