Excited to announce that I have been selected as the new IR/DR Residency Program Director @LLUMedSchool. @IRDocFuji, you will be missed. Hoping to bring some more @MiamiVasc flavor to the program! Thank you to those that helped foster my career along my journey. @SIRRFS #irad

Hot take: there are no uncrossable venous occlusions. Don’t condemn patients to a lifetime of femoral tunneled catheters or debilitating face and arm swelling without referring first to centers with appropriate equipment and experience to get these vessels open. #irad @LLUHealth

@jimbog_76 @VASBImedia @RenalAssoc @VASAMD @KidneyAcademy This is bloody brilliant. Thanks for sharing, awareness is obviously still needed since I’ve never seen or heard about this and I treat fistulas nearly every day.

Third @InariMedical #ClotTriever case in the last 3 wks. This thing is a game changer. 40ish yo F with worsening severe symptoms after a week of AC - pop access, 4 passes with the device from IVC to knee, PTA and 14mm VICI to tx classic MTS. No ICU stay, no tPA!

Previous PV recan, portomesenteric thrombectomy with AngioJet and TIPS. SMV rethrombosed after missing anticoagulation… this time we went with @InariMedical T16 thru the TIPS. AngioJet has its uses, but you need aspiration +/- mechanical to get this kind of chronic material out.

Despite all the sexy procedures we do, CT guided biopsies were the thing that sealed the deal for me as a student. The day I assisted an attending IR biopsy a hypermetabolic mass between the cava, aorta and spine was the day I finalized my decision. I still love doing them too!.
“Watch out! There are a lot of extremely important structures around that mass, don’t hit any of them!”. Interventional radiologists:

@keithppereira @AmirOlfat @SimaBanerjeeMD @IRKhalsa @pparikhxr @olgabrook @paragpatel_IR @JustinShafaMD @savedbyrad @IRguru I think we need a “simulated DR experience” for students to try it out for themselves. Less observational, more problem solving / puzzle-like. I think if more students tried DR rather than watched it, they would enjoy more than they expect. I’m 100% IR but still like imaging.

I will say that shock / adrenaline are an amazing combination which kept me fairly pain free until the next day… and allowed me to suction my own airway and communicate with ER staff using google translate app on my phone up until they intubated me. Crazy.

Preach! I agree as a doctor & as a former fat guy w/ horrible vitals and labs. Cal counting, 90 lbs lost and a cycling addiction took me from stage 2 HTN, prediabetes & a cholesterol panel of an 80 year old to someone with a resting heart rate of 40, BP 100/60, HDL 70. It works!.
We do not need RCTs to appreciate the power of lifestyle interventions: . E.g., I made wholesale changes to my life: .-lost 30 lbs.-stopped 2 BP meds (and BP is 110/60-70s).-symptoms of depression and anxiety are gone.-LDLc 127->79; HDL 42->48. Name a drug that could do this?.

@jfunkmd @so_uro @SocietyofBPD Unethical like vascular surgeons and cardiologists ordering and then interpreting the same Duplex or echo they ordered in an imaging lab they own and then performing an intervention on the patient based on the imaging? Many specialties do this. You notice because it affects you.
