Unwanted situations?

@ebtapper Yes like a hepatology session 😉

@BlaneyMD @DrHarryDOesHep @yuvalpatelMD The strongest case against preemptive tips is generally the last preemptive tips you did

@DrHarryDOesHep @yuvalpatelMD @ebtapper I know the data and feel that I should be doing more preemptive TIPS. Many patients are afraid of more invasive procedures, so it can be a hard sell/I need to improve on my delivery

This guy! 👑

I started discussing what I learned at DDW on Roon roon.com/doctors/posts/…

@yuvalpatelMD @BlaneyMD Agree

@BlaneyMD @ebtapper I’ve never had an interval EV bleed because I waited 4 weeks to re-band I’ve seen a fair bit of interval banding ulcer bleeds from over-banding / higher frequency of banding … I get that it’s my anecdotal experience. Maybe others have felt banding q2weeks is worth it ? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Happening tonight at 6 PM 🕕 LFN Reception at Hilton Chicago 🎊 All trainees welcome - come learn about LFN and what we do 🤗 Appetizers and drinks available! (🚌 shuttle route 1-Red from the convention center) @SarahUttal @SarahKhan9894 @WAleyadeh @BlaneyMD @LizzieAbyMD

@SidraShakeelAh3 🙏

#DDW2026 Elevated liver enzymes- the most commonly asked question. But do we do justice in answering this simple question ? Thank you @ebtapper for an amazing talk!
