@DrDiGiorgio Also if it’s not signed by 7 am, it’s a late start surgeon delay. Thanks for understanding.

@AmputationSuck @GAEscobarMD @farkomd @ChengaziMD @ReneLizola @t_intheleadcoat @DrJayMohan @JayMathewsMD @kmadass @keithppereira @pparikhxr @SDhandMD This is the way perc until there is a problem and then cutdown until I forget the problem happened #recencybias also I only do perc access in patients I know will be compliant with the 6 hrs with arm flat, and that I know to be reliable if something was to change post discharge

@farkomd Those are the things I didn’t know about the patient 😂😂, challenging case was there any occlusive disease as well or pure embolic phenomenon?

@thesurgerylife Awesome thread Eli, most impressive is the q2 call. How often do you use bolt 7 for fempop instead of 12 Fr? 50/50?
For compartment syndrome are you only doing rescue fasciotomy or do you still do prophylactic fasciotomy for some depending on ischemia time?

[othman abdul malak @prolenepapi]

@thesurgerylife 😂😂😂😂😂

@EricKnauerMD @rbarbosa91 Will never forget when I was an intern one of our HPB surgeons heard me saying it was just a gallbladder. The next 5 mins are permanently seared into my memory.

@DrJesseMorse Most likely thoracic outlet syndrome given his age and profession.

@KprasMD @thesurgerylife @_backtable If you consider the lack of blasting yourself with radiation a positive and the back breaking of being under the imager, it negates cost, and is better for the interventionalist

[othman abdul malak @prolenepapi]

@thesurgerylife @_backtable Super cool approach, will have to try and let you know how it goes!!!

[othman abdul malak @prolenepapi]

@aridi_hanaa @farkomd The one situation I can think of that wasn’t mentioned on the thread, is presence of contralateral nerve injury with vocal cord dysfunction.

[othman abdul malak @prolenepapi]

@thesurgerylife The best thing about this tweet is that it can reliably be reposted every 6 months and will still be relatable and accurate!! 😂😂

[othman abdul malak @prolenepapi]

@AmputationSuck I think the real cost saving in ivus or any adjunct intervention/device is in longer patency and reduced re-interventions. I think the metric being hospital stay is why the cost saving was not in favor of ivus.
