26 successful robotic TECAB cases. And counting. 🤖🫀

Including multivessel, off-pump, beating-heart, total arterial revascularization.

No sternotomy.
No rib spreading.
No phlebectomy.
Just a few Band-Aid–sized incisions.

This is not the future of coronary revascularization.
It is happening now.

Two junior faculty, equally productive (excellent outcomes), one uses way more technology.

Lap vs robotic chole?

Talking to independent physicians, it's obvious that the big insurance carriers are doing to them, what their PBMs are doing to independent pharmacies.

They deny, underpay, slow pay, clawback, and create administrative mazes, knowing their victims don't have the time or resources to fight.

Why ? By putting financial pressures on physicians and pharmacies, it makes them more likely to sell their businesses to them , close their doors, or refer the business to their captive pharmacy or provider. All benefitting the biggest insurance companies

We need to ditch the concept of "claims" and make every delivery of medications or care as a billable event that must, by law, be paid on a timely basis , with interest charges for any delays. If the physician or pharmacy doesn't deliver , the carrier has plenty of legal options already. As does the patient.

This is not an efficient market. This is the big guy abusing the little guy. It needs to change to better the care we get in this country

Unless there are fundamental comorbidities that preclude surgery such young patients shouldn't be having TAVIs.

Sure we can do such procedures with relatives ease- but it doesn't mean it's right for the patient. They have to deal with the consequences long after you or I have gone...

Cut it out & circularize the anulus, BAV should get SAVR

[Victor Dayan @VictorDayan1]

From reconstructed KM curves, life tables + Parmar method, TAVR was associated with worse survival at 10 years. This is vital status sweep, so this is real. @drjohnm #cardiotweeter #TAVR #SAVR

مش مصدّق إن الرحلة في مصر خلصت…
بلد دخلت قلبي من أول يوم، بناسها، بطاقتها، وكرمها اللي ملوش زي
شكراً على كل حاجة، وعلى ذكريات مش ممكن تتنسى.
كل التوفيق للسفير الجديد مارك برايسون-ريتشاردسون… متأكد إنه هيحب مصر زي ما أنا حبيتها.
هتوحشوني.

Make it so formularies have to be separated from PBMs and any companies they are affiliated with or own. They removed their leverage.

Require Medicare adv and part D plans to buy from any provider that publishes a price lower than what they make patients pay out of pocket.

Require all providers to honor their published cash prices for anyone. Any not published would be 120 pct of Medicare

Put together a financing plan for all healthcare out of pocket costs, held by the provider , guaranteed by the Feds. And personally guaranteed against fraud by provider CEOs (to end provider fraud )

@MikhailaFuller Get Dr. Marty Makary on your podcast. Would be an enlightening discussion to all of us. He just released a great new book about this topic too! “Blind Spots”, when medicine gets it wrong.
