@thesurgerylife @_backtable Yep, frequently. Only times I don’t are when I can’t (IJVs occluded) or if I suspect a critical stenosis of the cephalic arch. And it if you have to leave behind an HD catheter, you’ve already gotten access for such.
Love doing fistulograms via internal jugular venous access. Chip shot ⛳️ for focal 🎈 angioplasty, no need for purse-string suture, EBL < 1 cc. #IRad #ThinkJugular #Nephrology

As I tell trainees, name-brand training may get you your first job, but it won’t get you your second job.
In radiology, we often define subspecialization by degrees or fellowships. But true recognition comes when specialized physicians trust you with their patients. A fellowship trains you; their referrals validate you. Expertise isn’t claimed—it’s earned.

@ChengaziMD @_backtable @keithppereira @LessneVIR @CHICKVIR @t_intheleadcoat @iRadRock @IR_Doctor @No_cut_surgery @Naif_87 @Flavius_IR @SDhandMD Nice trick 👍🏼 Another one: If short by only 4-5 cm, can also attach a syringe to the catheter hub, with the nubbin of wire through the Luer. Flush saline while withdrawing, keeps the wire in position, especially hydrophilic ones.
