A piece in @nytimes highlights often missed diagnosis of Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome.
What struck me most from the article was this one line:
“Do you have good insurance?”
It’s a shame we are at this point in our healthcare.

Dr. Macsata was the most influential mentor I had. I would not be a vascular surgeon without her. She believed deeply in residents and education and her patients loved her. I am so grateful for her mentorship and the lasting imprint she left on my life.

@anish_koka The aviation analogy isn’t implied how you describe it but more so how it was described in @Atul_Gawande checklist manifesto. checklists and structured communication like in aviation have been shown to reduce variability and improve team performance under pressure in hospitals.
@anish_koka I think this misses a key point. Properly implemented QI initiatives aren't about pretending every bad outcome is preventable. They're about reducing the likelihood of never events and improving system reliability.
As someone who works regularly in a hospital and the ER, I can say this claim is categorically false. Ms. Leavitt should take the time to read about EMTALA, which guarantees emergency lifesaving care for all. The lack of compassion here is not just disappointing — it's shameful.
Leavitt: If you look at what happened under the Biden administration, real Americans were facing an increase in wait times at hospitals because they were being put last in line and illegal aliens getting that care first

@thesurgerylife I have not been using the Sep wire since they got the bolt mode but maybe I need to bring it back. I have not had great luck with the organized clot honestly and still cutdown distally about 30% of the time. I’ve had really good result with SMA emboli tho
Congratulations to ABS Councilor & #PSBABS Director Dr. Benedict Nwomeh on receiving the 2025 James F. Densler Award from the American Pediatric Surgical Association! @DrNwomeh@APSASurgeons
@XavierBerardMD I love that two syringe taper. When do you use bovine pericardium vs. rifampin Dacron? Also don’t yall have silver impregnated grafts in Europe?
