Surgery resident @AaronGilani asked why people close the fascia of trocar sites with a figure-of-eight suture instead of a horizontal mattress. Let us look at these briefly via one of my experiments. (1/ )

It was an honor to testify before the Mississippi Legislature Study Committee on Insurance Coverage about the importance of biomarker testing and the need for legislation to ensure access for all. @MSLCRT @AmericanCancer @NLCRTnews @LungPolicy

Here’s a nice analysis of 2.5M children about Tylenol and autism. The study found a small association between tylenol use in pregnancy and autism, but the association went away in sibling analysis. In sibling analysis you compare children born to the same mother where one child was exposed to Tylenol but not the other. This is a better comparison because genetics are similar between siblings whereas they differ greatly in non siblings from different families. Bottom line: no increased risk of autism with tylenol use in a huge population analysis. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Have you ever seen air-fluid levels in aorta?! Emergency case: 11-year-old AUI endograft infection with impending septic shock. No time for pre-OP bacteriology study, and only 2 units of RBC available in hospital today. Despite the odds, surgery went smoothly. #AortaEd @XavierBerardMD @farkomd @docpark @PShivanesandr

No more ‘homemade’ fenestrations, branched and off-the-shelf solutions are making complex AAA repair safer and more reproducible. Hopefully, reliance on custom-made devices will keep decreasing as technology advances. #AorticSurgery #Innovation #VascularSurgery #BEVAR

Happy #ThoracicThursday! Today we’re diving into heart transplantation, a life-saving option for patients with heart failure. But who qualifies for a transplant? Let’s discuss indications and patient selection!

The 2025 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

An amazing first day of #VESS2025 !!! Such a privilege to be in the same room as these people!

A great medical student program for the rising superstars! 🌟🌟#vess2025

When the Aortic dissection call turns out to be ascending and not descending #aortaed

Thanks for joining us for #STS2025 in Los Angeles. 🌴 We hope all attendees experienced outstanding science, learning, and networking, plus opportunities to grow and be inspired! Save the date to do it all over again at #STS2026, Jan. 30 - Feb. 1 in New Orleans, LA. 🎺

#STS2025 in the books! So so grateful. I ❤️ hearts! @TheHub_STS @STS_CTsurgery @ummcsurgery

@farkomd @MrinalShukla4 Thought this was interesting!

No difference in outcomes for non shunters (me), selective shunters, or routine shunters when preforming CEA

On the 12th nt of #VascSurg call the ED gave to me 12 gangrenous toes 11 carotid stenoses 10 failing bypass grafts 9 endograft endoleaks 8 cold legs 7 PDAs 6 clotted fistulas 5 pending amputations 4 consults for DVT 3 type B dissections 2 ruptured aortas & 1 popliteal aa injury!

@rbarbosa91 As a med student, this was actually so helpful and something I would have likely never been taught otherwise! Thank you!

🧵regarding the Bovie, which is one of the most commonly used tools in surgery. I have decided to reorganize my Bovie content into something that makes more sense, which will require multiple 🧵. This first one will cover the very basics and is geared toward students. (1/ )
