Tough test for first case with @CagentVascular balloon in our OBL. Heavily calcified DP with necrotic toe ulcer in 90 y/o. @PhilipsHealth laser with IVUS-sized 2.5mm #Serranator for the win. #CLIFighters @kmadass @Mustapja @VISLAMDSCAIP @AmputationSuck @EVToday @LessneVIR

Wrapped up our 2nd PVTL (Peripheral Vascular Trainee Lab) meeting this weekend in Chicago, and cannot be more proud and thankful of the efforts of all the exceptionally skilled and passionate expert friends of mine from all three vascular specialties, that came to shape the future of vascular trainees.
From the one on one conversations, case based hot seats, Faculty debates and of course the amazing hands on cadaver & simulator workshops (thanks to all the industry friends that are equally passionate about helping educate the future of vascular professionals), we were able to provide an amazing experience for trainees that came from all over the country and also from as far as Egypt.
My goal has always been for the trainees to see how we can all be true friends & family despite the barriers and turfs that we are consistently forced into, and this should be learned in training so that patients don't suffer from the silos that are created.
The joy of what we are doing was seen with witnessing trainees getting to know each other, get together after the meetings and helping each other on the cadevars and sim stations. Hopefully this creates lifelong connections and they cross paths again as friends.
Thanks to my HMP Global squad that continues to help me make this all about the trainees. Hopefully even better next year at #PVTL26 #FutureIsBright

What an incredible weekend at the 1st Annual PVTL! It was amazing to see @kmadass ‘s idea come to life, and have trainees and faculty from every specialty come together amicably!

It was a great night indeed and it helped us get through another year of IR training in East Africa. Last month we graduated the 4th class of IR fellows in Tanzania and examined the first class in Uganda. Thanks so much for these contributions! Every dollar was put to work!
Four straight nights = four amazing line-ups!! Which night would you have wanted the invite? Reviews upon request 🙂

Revascularization is only a step in the healing process for CLI patients. It takes so many specialists to save a limb.

Envisioned this years ago to help trainees show that they can and should all be friends and partners in this fight to save limbs and VTE.
Too often it’s said at meetings but not shown enough in actual training so just a shot at making a change for the future to help patients. Lucky to have great friends in all three vascular specialities joining as faculty.
Few spots left for any trainees in PVD space that want to come for a weekend and do hands on training and case discussions together

This is potentially the biggest thing we as physicians need to tackle. While physician pay has not changed since 1992, the wages of staff and other expenses have increased 3x or more in that same time. @AmerMedicalAssn @CMSGov – at Paradise, NV
Thank you @OEISociety for fighting for physicians
Curtis Anderson @bretwiechmann @BobTahara @Watts_IR and all of the leadership.
@SIRspecialists and @VascularSVS - real issue for private practices.
Disruptive? Me…? Never 😏
Informative disruptive conversation with 2 PAD / Embo masters @DonGarbettMD @Watts_IR and interesting discussion of why access or adoption of ASC is important now @dougbeall use of ASC for SCS trials and implants for diabetic neuropathy and for the future of IR @blakepparsons

@OEISociety again demonstrates dedication to expertise and outcomes … thankful to see recognition of diabetic neuropathy pts; SCS improves pain, A1c, weight loss, sleep, reduced loss of sensation / dysesthesia @dougbeall @DonGarbettMD @drcostantino1
