45% of dementia cases are preventable or could be delayed) through modifiable risk factors—and the window is MIDLIFE, not later. Having just 2 vascular risk factors in your 40s-50s is linked to elevated brain amyloid decades later. Prevention starts now. #NLAFall #HighwaytoHealth

In a recent @WomansWorldMag interview, I dropped some important knowledge about blood clots...perhaps most importantly, that arterial and venous clots are different! Check out three ways to reduce your risk here: https://t.co/4qnOVgqeBo

I shared this on my private social media, but I wanted to share publicly. You can be part of a fantastic training program and still be on the receiving end of treatment by bad actors that diminish who you are as both a doctor and a human being.
The suicide rate among physicians is the highest among any profession, and more than double that of the general population. Nearly every doctor graduates from residency with some degree of PTSD, and no one wants to talk about it.

Nobody died AND I got the bumblebee coban?! What an amazing day! Also, PSA: if you want to be a total asshat after your 2nd SMA embolectomy (bc meds are $$$ and meth is cheap), please cuss at me about your diet…I’ll gleefully keep you on clears until return of mental function.

What happens when 2 @MayoVascSurgery alumni show up for FEVAR day? Lots of @GustavoOderich lines—and wisdom—traded across the table in our best (worst) Brazilian accents. And of course a solid, by the book repair.

The perception that male surgeons are more “competent” than female surgeons is so common that even I have wondered in the past if there was any truth to it. So here is a thread comparing physicians of the two genders. 1/5

“We need to stop saying that women have worse anatomy… We don’t make stuff that fits women’s anatomy.” - @malas_mahmoud. Boom. Also, we need to start making instruments that fit my trainees’s size 5.5-6.5 hands better too. #VAM21

Great job by our incoming vascular fellow @southpawsurgery presenting a case series of patients with unilateral iliac occlusion treated with FBEVAR. Uncommon and challenging but feasible. @MayoVascSurgery @GustavoOderich @neotenorioMD @randydemartino @UTH_CVSurgery @barendmees

Great case!
Side-to-side anastomoses of the Aorto-bi-fem limb to the common iliac artery. Useful trick to use with occluded external iliac artery when you want to do a proximal end-to-end on the aorta but also preserve internal iliac flow. Nicely done by @drbermendes
