@TheIlliniFN Easy yes. Tons of experience in good leagues, and we have a bunch of opens slots and NIL money. Unless ian jackson is coming this is a no-brainer

Fans will undoubtably be split on this, both because of the past and fit. My take — Adam fits a need on offense (shooter) and on defense (graded out well at ASU). He’s a big-bodied guard and a capable three level scorer. He may be a 6th man or start if he comes, but he helps.

@DrJayMohan @t_intheleadcoat @keithppereira @EricSecemskyMD @drochohan @ShariqShamimMD @jcgeorgemd @HadyLichaaMD @VladLakhter @pagingdr_rao @AntoniousAttall Nice case. Thoughts on leaving leads in place (and potential nidus for recurrent fibrosis/occlusion) versus extraction and either av micra or contralateral implant?

Here’s another great case we just did of a recent pacemaker (placed 6 months ago) that led to significant arm swelling. Patient presented and had a upper extremity Duplex done demonstrating extensive DVT from the brachial vein through the subclavian. So we decided to intervene. •Access: left brachial vein 11F sheath •Wire: 0.035 Glide Advantage •Imaging: 0.035 IVUS •Thrombectomy: Penumbra CAT 12 Lightening •Venoplasty: 12x40mm AV fistula DCB #Cardiology #IRAD #Vasctwitter #CardioX #Cardiotwitter #dvt @RadialFirstBot @BotPci

@DPiper247 Big holes. Basically only playing 7 players, and humrichous cant score. Jakucionis imo needs much more seasoning, his defense is lacking and after 1st part of the year opposing coaches figured out how to contain him. All in all, decent year given what we had, a young/thin team.

That's where it ends for the Illini squad. 22 wins & a Round of 32 exit. Solid but not what they set out for. Love how Kylan Boswell played in March. Exciting future for Tomislav Ivisic & Morez Johnson Jr. if you can get them back Team needs to get older, more athletic, tougher

@the_transit_guy Denver international- its a million miles from the city, has central security and u have to take an additional train to go between terminals as well as from security

What's a city or metro that has the worst airport relative to its economic and cultural might?

@djc795 @ColletCarlos @OptimaCTO @CoreAalst As usual, you are correct. Also, for inexplicable reasons to me patients felt discomfort with use of cryo

@SamKMehta @ColletCarlos @OptimaCTO @CoreAalst I don't recall there being any evidence of particular efficacy over standard balloons. Is my memory correct?

We presented the first-in-man results of the Cryoballoon for vulnerable plaque at #EuroPCR earlier this year This is the company cryotherapeutics.com @OptimaCTO @CoreAalst

@djc795 @ColletCarlos @OptimaCTO @CoreAalst Lost most of its market share with more efficacious therapies available in PAD

@ColletCarlos @OptimaCTO @CoreAalst Isn’t there already a similar balloon for treatment of PAD in the US. I haven’t heard much about it in years.

@Kuldeep1926 @VascularSVS @FutureVascSurgn Viabahn 😂

5cm #aneurysm of saphenous vein at junction causing pain. Patient was offered GSV ablation but wanted a second opinion. @VascularSVS @FutureVascSurgn #vascular #MEDTwitter

Name a dirtier business than corporate medicine?

@Aetna . Can u explain why you keep turning down coverage for the speech therapy that our pediatrician prescribed. As a physician i am horrified by both the matrix you put your "clients" in, as well as the lack of explanations and transparency.

Lost yet another colleague who decided they could no longer tolerate practicing in the current medical climate.

@JimGMelton @DrJayMohan @EricSecemskyMD @jcgeorgemd @sahilparikhmd @HadyLichaaMD @JunLiMD @drochohan @ShariqShamimMD @keithppereira @AmputationSuck Agree completely.

@SamKMehta @DrJayMohan @EricSecemskyMD @jcgeorgemd @sahilparikhmd @HadyLichaaMD @JunLiMD @drochohan @ShariqShamimMD @keithppereira @AmputationSuck They should ALWAYS BE INVOLVED LMAO

Another sub acute limb. Pt with sudden onset cold leg at her PCPs office. Doppler with no flow in foot. Pt had leg pain for 2 wks prior. Clot in SFA and profunda. Went pedal with IVUS guided rotarex and restored flow. Lactate resolved next day. Patient walking home. #Cardiotwitter #PAD #CLI #ALI #Irad #vasctwitter

@djc795 @DrJayMohan Confounding variable: often when one is professionally dissatisfied, they focus more on income, thinking that more dough is worth their pain

@SamKMehta @DrJayMohan It would be interesting to survey folks and see if they would be willing to accept significantly less $$$ to get their independence back.

Great #SCAI2024 on physician employment and the current landscape of the difficulties of private practice. In a matter of 12 years we have seen private practice go from 60% to 10%. Have the hospitals created a monopoly?

@adamcifu If there was rationale behind the array of tests, it would just be a physical, not an executive physical.

Going over the records of a patient who recently had an "executive physical" at a well regarded academic medical center. It is a complete mystery to me how they chose the array of tests performed.

@HadyLichaaMD Will your hospital let u bridge w cangrelor for lap surgery? Total dapt interruption should only be then for day of surgery.

In a patient with severely symptomatic #MALS, causing severe impingement of the #celiacartery with insufficient bridging and #SMA collaterals, who cannot come off DAPT after #LMbifurcation stenting (post LIMA failure), has anyone considered stacking a #Supera #stent (despite its imprecise landing)? I don’t like the idea of #BES in this setting. Any laparoscopic options without interruption of DAPT? @NickMouawadMD @farkomd @ashkan_1670 @vascularIR @SDhandMD @AaronFrittsMD @monteleoneMD @BaoGTran @kmadass @AmputationSuck @ATYounesMD @monteromiguel @EricSecemskyMD @JayMathewsMD @jaygirimd @DrDrewKleinPHI

@pparikhxr @AmputationSuck If used regularly adds less than 5 minutes to a case. Arguments against use are similar to what non users said in the coronaries for years, till data strongly proved benefit. History will repeat itself but now in the periphery

I don’t understand how people are stenting the CIA ostium w/o IVUS. @AmputationSuck

@arun_kahlon Since u resolved his rest pain would leave distal alone.

@arun_kahlon Whats the indication for angio?

78 yo male with severe PAD. Fixed the popliteal lesion, left the distal alone. Significant symptom improvement next day. Would you treat the distal lesion or leave it alone?
