@AWBeckMD @farkomd @RKTvascular @westleyohman @AortaSurg @canuc_57 I have successfully treated a small number of these with anticoagulation alone. One with acute mesenteric ischemia required trap door aortomesenteric thrombectomy and recovered well.

@sternvascular @WellsFargo I will never bank with @WellsFargo

[Jordan R. Stern, MD @sternvascular]

My partner had her @WellsFargo checking and savings accounts cleaned out by scammers, including a credit card cash advance to increase the balance first. Gave NO personal or security info to anyone. Bank has told us that it is her fault and they will not refund anything (1/x)

@docpark Perhaps we should consider switching these patients to a diet of pure acorns.

@olsonplanner Get paid more for the same operation.

@MCWVascSurg Workup to determine if mycotic vs inflammatory. If not open candidate consider palliative evar w abx. Most can reasonably tolerate infrarenal clamp and orange Dacron though.

@RaviNAmbani @academicaorta @VascularSVS @FutureVascSurgn @AmCollSurgeons I call it "evar w type II endoleak". Maybe I'll start an Etsy store to sell exam table paper art!
