Memorial Day

It’s losing its luster

@GAEscobarMD My early morning following 3 days of call

@farkomd Memorial Day…. 😒

Humanized mouse model of #Atherosclerosis LPA (13-kringle)/APOB transgenic🐭 +HFHCD +LDLR ASO Sex matters🤓 Females develop larger & unstable lesions, though with lower Lp(a), VLDL-TG ⏫Necrotic core ⏫Calcification ⏫Phospholipid oxidation▶️♀️-specific Ferroptosis?😆 ⏬Collagen fibril Great work from our neighbor Dr. Marlys Koschinsky lab🤠 @JuliaStJohn253 @ATHjournal 2023 atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-…

Excited to welcome Dr. F. Ezequiel Parodi as Program Director for Vascular Surgery Training Program & Co-Director of the Aortic Institute at CMC. Nationally recognized expertise in complex aortic repair, FEVAR/BEVAR, dissections, and endovascular surgery. The future is bright

“Small incision” (not robotic:) open AAA repair for juxtarenal AAA (left renal implanted: white arrow)

@DrJayMohan @Babar_Basir @DrAmirKaki @agtruesdell @SandeepNathanMD @Kandzari @MichaelMegalyMD @DrRajeshG1 @AntoniousAttall @Allison_Dupont I would optimize this patient before going to the lab - with or without MCS. most sites wouldn’t randomize this patient with decomp HF for high risk PCI trial . Agree with others - we overuse the device in US because it’s available and there’s no definition of high risk PCI.

@farkomd great surgeon, and an even better man!

“The PFA is the most important vessel in the leg”. Severe rest pain. Failed fem-pop about 5-years ago, SFA occluded at least as long. LLE now holding on with fem-fem inflow & collateralized collaterals in the setting of PFA occlusion. Retro PFA + fem-fem access

Heparin bolus with your IVC tumor thrombectomy? Great paper! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @ccp1983 @UABUrology

Échange très enrichissant avec Jeanick Brisswalter, président d’Université Côte d’Azur, autour des enjeux de santé, de recherche et d’intelligence artificielle pour notre territoire. Faire de Nice un pôle d’excellence en innovation et en IA au service des habitants : une ambition partagée. @eciotti @BernardChaix @PrLCastillo #AugusteCosta #PatrickBaqué @PierreIppolito

Radiologists are getting really good At the bottom of every clinical note I have for my oncology patients I have a list of incidentalomas I have to keep track of so I don’t get sued.

@canuc_57 @farkomd There are multiple arteries in where an isolated stenosis or occlusion can cause significant symptoms. The PFA, while important, is not one of them.

@farkomd Congratulations to Dr Parodi and CMC

@RaviNAmbani @TomVargheseJr Thank you.

@farkomd @TomVargheseJr Congrats! Great addition to an excellent training program.

@farkomd Congratulations, Ezequiel! Great surgeon and an even better guy

Re exercise, my line: “20-30 minutes per day is like a heart pill,, or Afib pill”
