Bri’s Journey: A Year of Strength In November 2022, Bri underwent open-heart surgery for a congenital heart defect we only discovered at 21. Nine months later, complications from pneumonia led to pericarditis, lung collapse, and a long battle with her health. Over the past year, she has faced multiple hospital visits, surgeries, medications, and heart failure. On September 18, 2024, Bri had another open-heart surgery to remove her pericardium at Mayo Clinic. Recovery has been incredibly challenging, with setbacks like hemorrhaging, collapsed lungs, allergic reactions, and a ruptured incision. Despite everything, Bri continues to fight with incredible strength. She’s now undergoing infusions, weekly wound care, and ongoing treatments. Recovery isn’t easy, but she’s staying optimistic! #BriStrong ♥️ Thank you, Bri, for bravely sharing your journey with us and inspiring so many with your strength and resilience.

If you are experiencing leg pain 🦵, you could be suffering from artery blockage (PAD). The most evident symptom of PAD is claudication, which is pain in the legs while walking that goes away when you stop and rest. 🚶♂️💤 PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease) is a condition where plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries, narrowing them and restricting blood circulation through the legs. This can put you at risk of leg amputation. ⚠️ So, if you are experiencing leg pain or leg cramps while walking, it is recommended to have a vascular consultation as soon as possible 🩺 to help determine if your symptoms may be due to a blockage in one of your leg arteries (PAD). To treat PAD and restore blood flow through our patients' legs, our vascular specialists perform the latest endovascular surgery methods such as stenting, atherectomy, and balloon angioplasty. These are performed on an outpatient basis right here in our office-based lab. 💉🏥 To learn more about how the diagnosis and treatment of PAD can save you from leg amputation, you may visit: https://lnkd.in/eV5Dkfks You can also find us on Google Maps: https://lnkd.in/eG_Wj8rj Address: 10 Commerce Park, Milford, CT 06460 #PADDoctorsNewHavenCT #PADTreatmentNewHavenCT #PADSpecialistMilfordCT #PADVascularSurgeryNewHavenCT #ArteryBlockageTreatmentNewHavenCT #VascularDiseaseTreatmentMilfordCT #PeripheralVascularDoctorNewHavenCT #PeripheralVascularSurgeonsBridgeportCT #PeripheralArteryDiseaseTreatmentNewHavenCT

🪼 Cystica profunda is a rare condition where mucous-filled cysts develop in the gastrointestinal tract, often linked to rectal prolapse, inflammatory bowel disease, or even past surgeries. But here’s a curious twist: a recent case connected this condition to laparoscopic appendectomy! This finding, rarely discussed, sheds light on how appendectomy might trigger such complications. 🩺✨ 🔓 https://lnkd.in/g728gac3 #internalmedicine #CaseReport #meded #FOAMed #ejcrim #cysticaprofunda #laparoscopicappendectomy #treatmentcomplication

Joint arthroplasty is an effective procedure for managing pain and restoring function in joints affected by end-stage osteoarthritis. As the prevalence of osteoarthritis continues to rise, the demand for total joint arthroplasty is also expected to grow, making arthroplasty one of the most common surgical procedures. Rehabilitation is critical to optimize postoperative outcomes and enhance function across the continuum of care from preoperative management to return to sport. It is essential for #rehabilitation specialists to distinguish between routine and atypical healing, recognize signs of postoperative complications, and effectively manage these complications using an interdisciplinary approach to ensure successful outcomes after joint arthroplasty. Join us virtually on March 7 & 8 to learn more about a multidisciplinary approach to treating the most common athletic spine injuries across the continuum of care. Register for Hospital for Special Surgery's course "Management of Joint Arthroplasty: From Simple to Complex": https://lnkd.in/e5-k3TFU

During our recent webinar on Diabetic Foot, Dr. Brian Martin revealed how a well-aligned Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) can transform patient outcomes. At his clinic, adopting a clear treatment pathway with CERAMENT® has led to: ✅ Fewer operations ✅ Shorter hospital stays ✅ Lower amputation rates (Chow et al. ‘Definitive single-stage surgery for treating diabetic foot osteomyelitis: a protocolized pathway including antibiotic bone graft substitute use.’ ANZ J Surg. 2024 May 17.) Read the publication here 👉https://bit.ly/3ZygfcP These results underscore the power of teamwork and a unified approach to patient care. With an MDT, better outcomes are not just possible - they’re achievable. 🎥 Missed the live session? No worries! Watch it on-demand here: https://bit.ly/3NilqGG Together, let’s redefine diabetic foot care and improve lives. #BONESUPPORT #CERAMENT #DiabeticFoot #Osteomyelitis #Webinar #PatientCare
