  1. Flow reversal (instead of distal protection) is very effective protection in carotid artery stenting. There is a significant learning curve 8:22 AM Jul 25th from web
  2. Endovascular repair of acute Type B aortic dissections is best performed by sealing the entry tear. IVUS is helpful to assess true lumen. 8:34 PM Jul 19th from web
  3. Renal artery stenting can be completed using embolic protection filters. This is the future of renal artery stenting. 8:02 PM Jul 14th from web
  4. Cannulation of the contralateral gate of an AAA stent-graft can be facilitated by continuously rotating the image intensifier back and forth 7:50 PM Jun 28th from web
  5. A retroperitoneal conduit for vascular access in thoracic endografting procedures is essential if the iliac arteries are diseased. 6:46 PM Jun 13th from web
  6. Brachial artery access can be facilitated by placing injecting contrast in the a-line in the same arm and roadmapping the brachial artery. 8:46 PM Jun 4th from web
  7. Coiling or plugging the internal iliac artery when treating an iliac artery aneurysm is important and often staged to allow collateralizatio 6:43 PM May 29th from web
  8. Most coronary artery stents are drug-eluting while all currently approved stents for peripheral vascular disease are bare metal stents. 9:19 PM May 26th from web
  9. An endoleak is not an emergency. Definition: continued pressurization of an aneurysm sac outside a stent-graft and contained by the aorta. 9:03 PM May 21st from web
  10. Endovascular procedures rely on accessing the femoral artery through a small puncture through the skin. Other arteries can also be used. 9:10 PM May 20th from web
  11. There are currently 3 thoracic aortic stent-grafts approved for use in the US by FDA - all for thoracic aortic aneurysms. 6:39 PM May 19th from web
  12. Endovascular refers to a less-invasive technique for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. 1:24 PM May 9th from web
  13. A stiff amplatz wire or a lundiquist .035" guidewire is important for aortic stent graft procedures. 9:13 PM May 5th from web
  14. The Spider FX embolic protection filter (EV3, Inc) can be useful when placed in the popliteal artery for interventions on the SFA. 11:15 PM Apr 28th from web
  15. Peripheral interventions are usually performed through 6F, 7F or 8F sheaths. 9:07 PM Apr 27th from web
  16. Usually .014" wires are good for below-the-knee interventional procedures for arterial vascular disease. 4:52 PM Apr 26th from web
  17. Just added myself to the http://wefollow.com twitter directory under: #surgery #health #vascular 4:50 PM Apr 26th from WeFollow
  18. Renal artery interventions are best performed through a 7Fr sheath and a C2 guiding sheath (Bos Sci). Contralateral femoral access is best. 9:00 PM Apr 14th from web
