Exceptional training and case exposure go hand in hand. Intense trauma experience as a general surg resident @JPS_Health @bswhealth_DFW gave me chops I still use ! Always have tons of tools in your surgical toolbox! Avoid disaster! You may save a life! 🤙🏼 @UABSurgery @UABCVI

I’ve seen this firsthand during a challenging lead extraction complicated by an IVC tear during a femoral extraction approach. Our awesome CV surgeon Dr. Still @RootGal210 placed a Foley catheter directly into the IVC tear to achieve temporary hemostasis, allowing for stabilization and definitive surgical repair. An incredible example of multidisciplinary teamwork and quick thinking when it mattered most - the patient survived because of it.
