INTERCEPT TEVAR

@AWBeckMD Good evidence base behind this now. Hopefully level 1 evidence incoming soon…

Had an interesting conversation re: C02 flushing with my good friend Tilo Kölbel at #ESVS2023 and promised I would get the word out. They do this for every aortic device at his center. CO2 is flushed through first, followed by saline (Video credit to Prof Kölbel). #AortaEd

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully. Pls RT if you agree. #NHS 💙

Get round a table and chat about it then, Stevie. Unilaterally refusing to just makes you seem a bit... shit at your job? (PS your basic MP salary has gone up 31% since you were somehow elected in 2010.)

Well done, Tories! You’ve done it! Medical students now have ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS of student loans!

Great to see some promising preliminary results from INTERCEPTavi ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…
