Discover cutting-edge vascular treatments with innovative techniques! I’m thrilled to share that my latest vascular intervention, the "Percut-AV-bypass," was enthusiastically received at the prestigious Charing Cross Symposium in London. This groundbreaking technique, which I presented following its debut at the ESVS in Belfast, enables the creation of hemodialysis access through a fully percutaneous approach. What is the Percut-AV-bypass? The Percut-AV-bypass is an extension of percutaneous bypass innovations, simplifying procedures for patients requiring vascular access for hemodialysis. This technique allows for shunts to be created to respond to the difficult problem of venous breakdown, without traditional surgery, significantly reducing recovery time and enhancing patient comfort. Charing Cross Symposium, an epicenter for vascular and endovascular education, focuses on emerging challenges in vascular medicine, underscores the critical importance of innovative solutions like those, and was a fantastic platform to introduce the Percut-AV-bypass to peers worldwide. Join us in advancing vascular care. If you're interested in learning more about the Percut-AV-bypass or other innovations in percutaneous bypasses, please feel free to connect. Let’s work together to improve patient outcomes with advanced, minimally invasive treatments that set new standards in vascular care. #VascularHealth #Innovation #CharingCross2025 #HealthcareCollaboration #PercutaneousBypass

#Endotoxemia is frequent in critically ill patients, including patients undergoing cardiac surgery [1], or patients who are being resuscitated after cardiac arrest [2]. One of the reasons why, is that ischemia-reperfusion can cause endotoxin to leak from the gut into the bloodstream [3]. Endotoxin can lead to direct or indirect organ damage, including biological and functional damage on cardiomyocytes [4] and in the worst cases lead to unresponsive endotoxic shock causing death. Polymyxin B HemoAdsorption (PMX-HA, medical device Toraymyxin®) is the most potent endotoxin neutralizer, combining the unique properties of Polymyxin B with HemoAdsorption. Our partner #EUROSETS is present at the #EUROELSO Annual Meeting which takes place in Krakow on 24-27 April.                                                     Discover PMX-HA at EUROELSO – We will wait for you at the #EUROSETS booth! #Endotoxemia #Endotoxicshock #PolymyxinBHemoAdsorption #EUROELSO 1.

Mission Medical: The Cardiac Surgery Syntax Score (SYNTAX score) serves as a crucial tool for assessing the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) based on coronary angiography. This scoring system assists cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in determining the most suitable treatment for CAD patients. Factors such as the number of diseased vessels, severity and location of blockages, bifurcation lesions, and diffuse disease play a key role in calculating the SYNTAX score. The SYNTAX score, whether computed through a computer program or manually by a cardiologist, helps in tailoring treatment plans. Patients with a low score may benefit from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), while those with a high score might be better candidates for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). While not exhaustive, the SYNTAX score significantly aids in making informed decisions regarding CAD patient treatment, acknowledging its limitations yet emphasizing its value in clinical practice. #MissionMedical #CardiacSurgery #SYNTAXScore #CAD #TreatmentDecisions

Publication alert 🔔 Highlighting the work of a past rockstar #MadiganREC3ON general surgery resident, Danny Lammers, MD. ❗️Quantifying the benefit of whole blood on mortality in trauma patients requiring emergent laparotomy❗️ “Preferential transfusion of WB during the initial resuscitation demonstrated a 99% probability of being superior to component predominant resuscitations with regards to 4-hour and 24-hour mortality suggesting that WB predominant resuscitations may be superior for improving early mortality. Prospective, randomized trials should be sought.” Full Citation: Lammers, Daniel MD; Betzold, Richard MD; McClellan, John MD; Eckert, Matthew MD; Bingham, Jason MD; Hu, Parker MD; Hurst, Stuart MD; Baird, Emily MD; Hashmi, Zain MD; Kerby, Jeffrey MD; Jansen, Jan O.

Category of debate --> what do you do with a type A intramural hematoma based on what parameters? 🦭 This retrospective study of 98 patients evaluates the relation between ascending aortic length and outcomes in patients with acute type A intramural hematoma managed medically. It reported that patients with an ascending aortic length of 11 cm or more had a significantly higher risk of aortic progression, surgical intervention, and ulcer-like projections compared to those with shorter lengths. Ascending aortic length could help identify high-risk patients who might benefit from early surgical intervention, suggesting its role in risk assessment and treatment planning.

𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼-𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 🧠: ✅Brainomix 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗦 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 Brainomix has announced new data from studies presented this week at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) annual meeting. 🚀 Here are the key findings presented from Brainomix recent studies: 1️⃣ Predicting Clot Recanalisation Success: In collaboration with West Virginia University, our Brainomix 360 e-ASPECTS tool analysed baseline NCCT scans to identify hyperdense clots and their lengths, showing these #biomarkers can predict successful recanalisation in large vessel #stroke patients. 2️⃣ Detecting Large Vessel Occlusion: Partnering with Mayo Clinic, West Virginia University, and Boston Medical Center, their Triage Stroke tool was validated as a reliable method for detecting #LVO in #acuteischemicstroke. Coupled with NIHSS scores, it can aid in identifying candidates for #thrombectomy, particularly in resource-constrained settings. 3️⃣ Predicting Futile Recanalisation: Collaborating with Mayo Clinic and West Virginia University, Brainomix used their 360 e-ASPECTS to quantify #ischaemic core volume and #hypoattenuation depth via net water uptake (NWU) from baseline CT scans. Results indicate that NWU can help identify patients at risk of futile recanalisation, especially those with large cores. https://lnkd.in/euQpwvdy
