- Another outstanding Cx 2022 session. Currently speaking Eric Secemsky, MD presenting an expert consensus on IVUS use for PAD interventions. #IVUS #Ericsecemskymd
- In the past week I have had the opportunity to work with such great friends and colleagues! First stop - Miami to coordinate a Venous Summit with Peter Schneider sponsored by Philips. Thank you Philips for the opportunity! @PSchneiderMD @LessneVIR @KathleenGibson6 @PhilipsHealth
- Replying to @farkomd @HCrespoSotoMD and 8 othersThese are the venograms pre & post endophlebectomy and then after additional stenting. Note the CFV disease prior to endophlebectomy. Grateful to have a talented colleague like Dr CrespoSoto to do these cases with.
- The Charring Cross 2022 executive board at work. It was an honor to be involved and work with my highly esteemed colleagues. An excellent meeting. Look forward to the future. @CXSymposium @UkVenous @ManjGohel, Dr. Armando Mansilha
- Replying to @VascularSVS @s_brathwaite and 3 others2. If symptoms are primarily lower extremity or vulvar varicose veins, I generally will treat the presenting complaint with phlebectomy or sclerotherapy first and re-evaluate. If pelvic pain is the primary complaint, I obtain cross-sectional CTV imaging.
- Replying to @AmputationSuck1. IVUS is important for an accurate diagnosis. It reduces the risk for over treatment while improving outcomes by helping ensure that disease is appropriate for stenting, stent sizing is adequate, landing zones are correct, & inflow is adequate.
- Replying to @VascularSVS @s_brathwaite and 3 others1. I first evaluate the patient’s symptoms and perform a physical exam. I am interested in teasing out whether the patient’s symptoms are primary pelvic pain, labial varices, or lower extremity varicose veins that originate from a pelvic source.
- Replying to @VascularSVS @s_brathwaite and 3 othersVenous ulcer disease is secondary to high venous pressures. It is important to evaluate all underlying causes of venous HTN inclusive of deep venous disease, superficial venous disease and medically induced venous HTN. Further treatment is then dictated by the underlying cause.
- Replying to @DrLizGenoveseThank you Liz! Curious about this twitter world ;)
- Replying to @KaremHarthMD @farkomd and 8 othersThanks Karem. This patient had bulky CFV scar that did not respond to angioplasty & blocked the profunda. My criteria is a healthy profunda (and ideally femoral) just prior to the confluence to assure good inflow. Stenting is then performed into the patch from the IJ.
- On November 15th, vascular experts @AmputationSuck, @TheVeinBoss, and @HadyLichaaMD will be answering all your IVUS questions during a live Twitter Q&A. Submit your questions now using #IVUS.
- Replying to @VascularSVS @s_brathwaite and 3 othersMy follow-up for deep venous interventions is US stent checks at 2 weeks, 3- 6- and 12- months then annually. For Patients with IVC stents, I generally obtain an additional CTV at the post-op 3-6 month point. While not routine in all practices, I perform US 2 days after RFAs.
