There are times in life when feeling of happiness and sadness coexist. I am thrilled about your guys future endeavors!!! But also will miss your boys presence. You brought so much good energy and work ethics to our cath lab.

@GreggWStone Wonder is having an establish “shock team” would help standardizing the Rx of patients. We have learned a lot since we created our ST 18m ago. CTS is an asset for escalation Rx and placement of alt access for long recovery and poor FA arteries. Love to participate Dr Stone

@yasersami @Tabaza @jcgeorgemd @SanjogKalra @mirvatalasnag @Hragy @Drbankacardio @NosairMohamed @ziadalinyc Stented, so easy now that vessel is open and not in 2H w a thrombosed vessel. Be practical and less academic, consequences can be bad.

@ReporteYa @DelmiroDeBarrio La educación es un arte, y mis mejores profesores fueron firmes pero muy pacientes y NUNCA perdieron la cabeza. Ese profesor no me recuerda a nadie que me formó y a mi que ni se me acerque,

@ReporteYa @DelmiroDeBarrio Entrenar a un residente requiere mano dura pero al mismo tiempo paciencia. La forma de educar más eficientemente a ese residente no es gritándole ni vejándolo, hay que darle orientación y explicaciones muy propinadas por que “hay que revisar” esa área y como hacerla.

@jcgeorgemd @GPAngioClub @PennCVFellows No stent, I have seen stent Fx with thrombosis. Medical Rx follow by unroofing.

@Tabaza @ACCinTouch Nicely done. Agree, medical therapy works very well for some, others just need metal healing

It’s a honored spending time with vascular surgery and CT surgery doing complex procedure. Real multidisciplinary team approach. The one that benefit the most at the end is the patient.
