Catheter Thrombolysis for submassive PE is safe/effective in appropriate patients. 29% thrombus reduction in 48 hours, No decompensation, No death, only 2.5% major bleed. results of the Standard vs Ultrasound Assisted Thrombolysis (SUNSET sPE) Trial just presented #SVSONLINE2020

By 2018, the mean price of a U.S. medical education was about $300,000; 75% of students took on loans, and their average debt at graduation was $200,000. Various policies aim to combat the problem, but policies targeting cost, price, or debt have different consequences.

Congratulations to our CVR vascular faculty member, Areck Ucuzian MD! He won an NIH K08 & SVS Foundation/ACS grant award for his work on aortic dissection and aneurysm formation, and how exercise affects these processes The Center For Vascular Research Maryland Surgery American College of Surgeons Society for Vascular Surgery

Enjoyed the discussion on the hemodynamic vs microembolic consequences of asymptomatic carotid stenosis on brain function. We need to think beyond stroke in patients with carotid disease.

Research from our CVR shows, for the first time, that CTA can reliably measure carotid plaque morphology. CTA could therefore enhance our ability to risk-stratify patients with carotid artery stenosis.

Took a cue from @Mustapja Fadi Saab to use EVUS and guide thrombectomy in fistulas. It not only makes for a pretty picture but helps to target clot attached to the wall! SIR ECS Kidney Dialysis Society of Interventional Radiology #trerotola SIR RFS American Society of Nephrology

Research from our CVR suggests mobility dysfunction is an unsuspected morbidity associated with flow restriction and inadequate cross collateralization in so-called "asymptomatic" carotid stenosis.

This app could be a game changer. We are using a fairly expensive in-person lifestyle coaching intervention in CREST-2 for both the “medical” and revascularization arms. Can’t wait to use the SVS app; appears more clinically practical.

Excellent articles we will he discussing!

Although women represent just 19% of academic surgical faculty, they represent 26.4% of NIH R01 grant holders. New research showing women surgeons are holding their own when it comes to surgical research is published today on the @JAmCollSurg website: facs.org/media/press-re…

And we haven’t even begun to estimate the toll on vascular patients with end organ ischemia.
