Nothing like being stuck in LAX for the night with a toddler with no snacks, clothes, sleep stuff, or even diapers. Thanks @Delta and @united for the flight delays, the impossible transfer, and the complete lack of help with lodging or transport. & I miss the first day of VESS 😭

Grateful to have the opportunity to talk about this very important topic of #plavix resistance in #TCAR patients. All credit goes to @KatDiLosa whose hard work is behind all of this and to @SammySiada @UCSFFresno whose partnership made this multicenter, cross-UC study possible!

So proud of Kat’s a incredible work on this study (one of her 7 (!!!!) different studies being presented at #VAM23). She is a true force of nature! Side note: We’re working on a multi-institutional study of plavix resistance testing for #TCAR - reach out if you do testing!

I’ll just conclude with an image of the round-handled Castroviejo. If you are thinking of going into a specialty involving vascular anastomoses, and picking up one of these doesn’t do it for you, then I really don’t know what to tell you. ⬛️
