He came into this world a little earlier than expected, with a mighty cry & a fighting spirit. Every day, he’s getting stronger. Every day, he reminds me of the importance of faith, the power of prayer, and the blessings we sometimes take for granted.. My heart is full❤️

Congrats Don. Well deserved
Thank you, Dr. Donald Jacobs! Our division celebrated the Chief of Vascular Surgery on Friday for his retirement. He established our integrated vascular surgery residency and strengthened training for future vascular surgeons. You will be missed. 💛 #VascularSurgery #CUAnschutz

Texas weekend. Different arenas. Same mindset. Build the best team. Trust the technology. Execute when it matters most. Similar to vascular surgery

Best medical therapy
#Carotid Opinion: Patient with asymptomatic carotid disease. PSV of left ICA 260 cm/s and CTA read as 60-70% LICA stenosis. Debating opinions by IC and vascular. Vascular: CEA (no angio needed) IC: angio then decide stent vs CEA I find it odd not consider angio for confirmation. Vascular states it’s a slam dunk CEA case. I understand the debate with stent vs CEA (anatomical considerations) but shouldn’t we delineate the anatomy with angio or can you just rely on a CTA? Would you do a carotid angio here first and then decide?

This is why you train surgeons

It’s already happened …. Can’t stop progress. Indeed , their own excellent training creates wider expertise .

Depends on the density of packing
Coils need a clot. Liquid embolics do not. Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy (@kavikrishVIR), Dr. Alexander Misono (@MisonoVIR) , and Dr. Oleksandra Kutsenko break down acute hemorrhage cases where liquid embolics saved the day, especially when the INR is sky-high and every second counts. Listen to the full episode in the BackTable app: backtable.com/shows/vi/podca… This podcast is supported by Sirtex. #VI681 #InterventionalRadiology #Embolization #LiquidEmbolics #TraumaCare #StopTheBleed @UABVascular @hoaghealth

I’d put vascular surgery in there
Very much in line with what i'm seeing on physician shortages with a few caveats...but the overarching theme is subspecialty access will continue to be a challenge. amnhealthcare.com/amn-insigh…
