Please join me in congratulating our incoming 2025-26 @UChicagoMed #InterventionalCardiology fellows: @CMFernandezMD & @KunjanUdani. Welcome to the #UChicagoCathLab! We’re thrilled to have you guys join us! Please arrive adequately caffeinated ;)

Join us for the 1st Annual Chicago Hemodynamic Forum! Explore invasive hemodynamics with Dr. @MarkBelkinMD & Dr. @JonGrinsteinMD. Don’t miss this chance to advance right heart catheterization, heart failure, and more. #ChiHemos2024 uchicagohemodynamics.com

U of C crew at #PERT2024! @UCCardsFellows @Jonathan_PaulMD @TeekMD

@Jonathan_PaulMD @UChicagoMed @SandeepNathanMD @TheRealDoctorOs Everything looks coaxial. These guys are pros

Turns out that construction workers and interventional cardiologists are pretty similar! Witnessed a rota-assisted CTO of the earth using guide extender (in the construction of the new @UChicagoMed Cancer Center). We both wear gloves, too! @SandeepNathanMD @TheRealDoctorOs @HeartOTXHeartMD @TeekMD

@Jonathan_PaulMD Oh you mean Flatatooie??

Made a pilgrimage to the (in)famous “Chicago rat hole”! Perfect imprint of a rat (squirrel?) in the sidewalk cement that’s been there for 30 years. Zoom in on the “offerings” and you’ll understand what makes this city so great! If you don’t know, Google it. #chicagorathole @RichardERoeper @barrybutler9 @CBSSunday @SandeepNathanMD

@Jonathan_PaulMD @monteleoneMD @SandeepNathanMD @TheRealDoctorOs @PGadalinski @uchicagohvc @UCCardsFellows Tolerate? False. Encourage and thrive on (your) dad jokes? Always 🥰

Couldn’t agree more @monteleoneMD ! Feel very lucky to work in a lab with a culture that fosters innovation, supports growth (and failure!), and tolerates dad jokes. @SandeepNathanMD @TeekMD @TheRealDoctorOs @PGadalinski @uchicagohvc @UCCardsFellows

@SandeepNathanMD @GSaldanaMD @SajniPatel2 @Jonathan_PaulMD @UCCardsFellows @shirleneobuobi @PamelaSimone15 @molly_altenburg @DocSavageTJU @TheRealDoctorOs If only there was a way to inquire with the source of the roentgenogram and to physically examine them - to be able to correlate clinically, if you will 🤔🧐 Nice gallery of artifacts + reminder of importance to fully check all artifacts/devices: tinyurl.com/5ejnjrur

Best exchange fr #CICU rounds this AM: Intern 1: She has pulmonary edema, cardiomegaly & some type of sternotomy hardware - although there’s no record of CABG. Intern 2: Uhhh… that’s a bra. Intern 1: Well, that wasn’t in the final radiology read, so…

Colleagues - pls join me in taking a short survey by @kwanleemd on simulation in #InterventionalCardiology & RT. Once complete you’ll be entered in a raffle for free registration for @SCAI Scientific Sessions 2024 (May 2-4, 2024, Long Beach, California: survey.alchemer.com/s3/7449075/Sim…

@SandeepNathanMD @UCCardsFellows @uchicagohvc @Jonathan_PaulMD @TheRealDoctorOs @MRAkid @SVRaoMD @DocSavageTJU @mmamas1973 @willsuh76 @CNallapati_MD Sizing up EBU (+ R2P, which I haven't tried yet for this) is a grand idea. If trouble w/initial wiring into transverse/ascending aorta (e.g. started with JR) a SOS Omni/Glide Adv ± 0.035" compatible (micro)catheter can be very helpful.

@TeekMD @UCCardsFellows @uchicagohvc @Jonathan_PaulMD @TheRealDoctorOs @MRAkid @SVRaoMD @DocSavageTJU @mmamas1973 @willsuh76 @CNallapati_MD For this (& even less distortion of brachiocephalic-aortic junction) it’s helpful to use a longer EBU than usual, support in contralateral SOV & leave a 0.035 wire inside the guide until a supportive 0.014 wire is down the vessel. Haven’t used R2P yet for this. Other tips?

But seriously though… why is it *always* the last scheduled case of the day? #RadialFirst but #LdTRA might have been even better. For all the #ACCFIT, #InterventionalCardiology & #IRad fellows out there, what anomaly is this? #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #UChicagoCathLab

@paullongMD @JamesCHudspeth @DrYadavalli @aravindamenon @dankirsh Paul, does your mother, who was born and grew up in India (land of the rising mango), know about these radically misguided views of yours??

@JamesCHudspeth @DrYadavalli @aravindamenon @dankirsh @TeekMD You just angered all of central Washington.

@dankirsh @paullongMD 1) Paul literally was talking about fruit at its ripest. 2)This concept blows my mind. Maybe you should start a Zagat-like book (Dagat?) Where every restaurant is rated by the second and third best dishes 🤔

@TeekMD @paullongMD Mangos are fine, but they were not even in the running. I don't judge a fruit by how good it is when it's ripe, but how good it is when it isn't quite ripe. Pretty much every fruit is delicious when ripe, but some are good even before then and others are disgusting.

@dankirsh @rheault_m @teeketime It was qDAY. And in my denfense, I just thought it wasn't getting drawn. I had no idea it A1C was only run Mon-Fri back in those days 🤦‍♂️

@rheault_m Let me tell you about the time @teeketime trended an A1c q6h for an entire weekend as an intern.

There is no good reason to check creatinine every six hours. Change my mind.

SUPER SPECULATIVE, but we (@ghoshhajra @drmalissawood @AndrewDicksMD) have been seeing MANY more dissections (visceral, cervical, coronary) @MGHVascular. Some patients have #COVID history. Anyone else? @SVM_tweets I found one case-report: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@Angiologist @ghoshhajra @drmalissawood @AndrewDicksMD @MGHVascular @SVM_tweets @haseebqazi Couldn't agree more - almost one a day! There's something in the air when you have almost as many arteriopathy evaluations as you do submissive PEs. That or we got some fancy new CTs 🤔

My happy place 🥰 @BSchainfeld @krosenfieldMD @DougDrachmanMD @RahulSakhujaMD @HoyaJumbo @haseebqazi @AndrewDicksMD @VladLakhter @RiyazBashir
