@drkeithsiau @AixEndo Call vascular surgery.

[Caitlin Hicks MD, MS @CaitlinWHicks]

@AnnieWaldman @Propublica dropped 3 articles highlighting #overuse of #PAD procedures today, and they are alarming. If this isn’t a call to action, I don’t know what is. #WeCanDoBetter @VascularSVS @ACCinTouch @SIRspecialists @OEISociety @CMSGov

@farkomd 100%!

Congrats, @AKimballMD, on receiving the Mitch & Karen Padnos Innovation Award!

@MrBeast Sounds peaceful. Kids would miss me though although they are HUGE fans of yours so I’d get major dad points.

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@farkomd I was thinking the same thing about mine actually … been one of those call weekends.

"Every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery, where from time to time he goes to pray - a place of bitterness and regret, where he must look for an explanation for his failures." - Rene Leriche, 1879-1955.

@sulaiman_shamsi Id likely try for the PTA to get a blush from in-line flow

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@LeonardoRandial @farkomd @limbsalvagedr @jmills1955 @monteromiguel @GAEscobarMD @DevinZarkowsky @docpark @AmputationSuck @Aortatico Ive done endarts with local/MAC. If he’s ambulatory then endart may be best. What makes him high surgical risk? Native groin?

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@naviyd Whats it look like from antegrade approach? Curious about the history because as pointed out those tibials are amazing. Likely best served with bypass if candidate.

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@farkomd On the graft like a signature on a line

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@aksyksvsclb I always go until I get a visible wound blush preferably via direct in-line flow. Usually select out each tibial (if patent) and shoot so there is no ambiguity.

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@mattsmeds Used one until the hospital got rid of it. Instead I now have two separate apps for hospital and providers to use, one app for the office answering service, and my cell number 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

After some delay on my end I am now officially an active member of SVS. Woohoo! #societyofvascularsurgery

Apparently I’m running specials on SMA thrombectomies this call weekend. 2 down and I know the 3rd is lurking somewhere. #vascularsurgery #theyalwayscomeinthrees

@FadiSaab17 @kmadass @SDhandMD @keithppereira @dandu_n @shadihalabi4 @MacAnsari @drmcumming @BobTahara @bretwiechmann @AmputationSuck I would be concerned about integrity of suture line. Early graft thrombosis would have me worried about an infectious process or poor outflow. I suspect the hood of the graft would come up to that PSA. Infectious process could disrupt the suture line causing the PSA.

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@FadiSaab17 Please tell me it’s not one of mine that occluded 🤞🏻

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@mcuban Thanks for the post Mr. Cuban. Let’s not forget about those of us who are DOs and went through the same gauntlet as our allopathic counterparts.

[Justin M. Simmons @jmsimmonsdo]

@sewveindoc @EmergencyDocs ABSOLUTELY!!!
