If you’re going to promote exercise therapy for PAD, then make sure you provide it. After CMS coverage, <1.5% of claudicants had claims for SET. We started 5 centers in ‘18 bc few existed in Boston. Its easy to tell people to stop smoking & exercise, its harder to help them do it

Lots to digest from BEST-CLI. My early take - if most events are close to day 0, need to be thoughtful of interpretation. Agree that if good vein & suboptimal anatomical characteristics for endo, then bypass reasonable. But many events driven by immediate crossover or repeat PVI

Multidisciplinary approach to care is the only way forward. We have a heart team for PCI/Valve decisions, PERT team for PE care, HTN program for renal stent/RDN, consult service for IVC filters. No turf wars. Need to change PAD approach & not use politics as reason for failure.

Second Prospective Randomized Control Trial Demonstrating the Benefit of Peripheral IVUS! 237 patients with fempop disease randomized to IVUS-guided DCB treatment vs angio-guided DCB treatment. 14% improvement in patency at 1 year, aligned with results from prior 150 person
The goal of the IVUS-DCB trial was to evaluate IVUS-guided drug-coated balloon angioplasty compared w/ angiography-guided drug-coated balloon angioplasty among patients w/ femoropopliteal artery disease.

Dear Journal Editor-
If at all possible, please avoid sending rejection notices on: Fridays, weekends & holidays. Tuesday through Thursday is usually a fair time, as I’m typically distracted with other work.
Thanks,

Wonderful year thanks to a wonderful team. We’ll be posting soon for a post-doc position starting this upcoming academic year. Come work with a great team, learn some new statistical methods and get involved in cutting-edge cardiovascular research. Please message me if interested
2022 was a prolific year for the Interventional Cardiology & Vascular Research Section. Led by
@EricSecemskyMD
, they published 50+ times, attended 20+ national & international conferences, & welcomed 7 team members. Here's to 2023 being even better!

Reminder to my vascular colleagues who don’t do coronary interventions - this has been our issue for years. We have Global think tanks dedicated to increasing IVI use. We’re slowly getting there….perfect time for PVI to follow suit.

Why adoption of intracoronary imaging remains so low despite evidence? Worth investing time and energy in analysing the problem. Over the last months an outstanding group of think-out-of-the-box colleagues has been working on this, yesterday in Madrid in the first F2F meeting.🧵

Here’s a question: is the internet going to be able to handle all this remote work, remote classes, remote clinic visits, simulcasted conferences, Netflix streaming while not working? Has there ever been a use test this large?
