Looks we took a step backward today. This is a unprecedented day in American history. Healthcare and welfare of the American ppl will not be the same.

Earlier today, Dr. Wissam Jaber (Co-PI) presented #PEERLESS results LIVE from #TCT2024. PEERLESS met its primary composite endpoint (win ratio 5.01, p<0.001), driven by patients experiencing significantly fewer clinical deteriorations or therapy escalations, fewer ICU admissions, and shorter ICU lengths of stay with #FlowTriever vs. CDT. @TCTConference @crfheart @wissamj123

Yet again amazing work from @markbolger84, Matthew Lukies, and @GGohIR. Pleased to be a part of the group. rdcu.be/dXF5c "The data presented demonstrate the importance of measuring clinical workload within the day-to-day schedule of an IR rather than using DR RVUs ... Clinical practice is the cornerstone of modern IR, and we must be provided with sufficient time, resources and workforce to ensure safe and high-quality clinical care for our patients." I could not stress this point enough. This is the way forward for our speciality, and we must use events of the past to shape our future. #interventionalradiology #irad #clinicalIR @IRSA_IRs @CVIR_Journal @cirsesociety @RANZCRcollege @linemonkeymd

Enough is enough! @GreysABC, surgeons are NOT #IRad. I can’t wait for you to get canceled so you stop perpetrating & perpetuating the sabotage of #IR along your stupidly boring show. Surgeons doing a TIPS?? Create your own procedures & ❌ showing medically inaccurate pics 🤬

We've collaborated with @ChildrensPhila to create a vaccine to prevent and treat C. diff. The shot is the first #mRNAvaccine to fight against C. diff and the first vaccine in general to successfully ward off the bacterial infection. spr.ly/6018qpEGj

And vastly improve quality of life!
Venous occlusive disease results in collateralization through deep venous pathways including internal iliac, lateral sarcral, transverse venous, iliolumbar, and lumbar veins. Reconstruction using dedicated venous stents may restore anatomy. @CVIR_Journal @cvirendo @JVIRmedia

Dear @Humana: it speaks volumes that you won't even cover a numbing cream that makes accessing a patient's Port more comfortable, and instead invent a specious argument about it "not being a drug" Do better (like @mcuban, who saved this patient money through @costplusdrugs)

Walz on mass shootings: "We believe there's nothing we can't accomplish together. Donald Trump and JD Vance -- 'ah, we just can't figure it out.' Well then how the hell did every other country figure it out in the world?"

Dedicated venous stents are approved for treatment of iliofemoral venous occlusive disease, but may be used in the upper extremity and thoracic central veins with excellent technical and clinical successes. @cirsesociety @CVIR_Journal @JVIRmedia @cvirendo

It is truly unbelievable that our patients have been left in the dark about their healthcare finances. Only 8.3 cents of each dollar spent on healthcare in the US goes to physicians. Let that sink in. Lowest in the industrialized world.
Physician pay over last 4 years: -7.76% Yet physicians (as small businesses) have helped carry the economy through every downturn, generate new jobs, and pay taxes to their local economy. Let’s fix this problem. Physicians are critical to local and national economies and require payment updates commensurate with the cost of doing business.
