Sat through an interesting debate/disscussion at #THT2024 last week on why Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) may be under utilized. One surgeon suggested #medicaldevice companies need to consider marketing directly to consumers because most people don't know LVADs even exist. (She said one patient came to her asking to have an Impella implanted even though she wasn't undergoing surgery.) But another surgeon countered that LVADs won't be broadly adopted until they're less cumbersome to use, recalling that one patient told him all the wires and apparatus made him feel like a refrigerator None of that has anything directly to do with Sean Whooley's article in MassDevice. Here are Sean's details - "The company reported eight injuries and zero deaths related to this recall. In total, the recall affects 1,560 devices in the U.S. distributed between May 7, 2020, and Dec. 18, 2023. Abbott initiated the recall on Jan. 3, 2024." https://lnkd.in/erW7JuvA

Exploring Evidence-Based Practice: The Journey of Senlore™ At Adlore, Inc. we’re committed to the rigorous development of our innovative device, Senlore. Currently in its preliminary phase, Senlore is backed by promising evidence suggesting its potential to revolutionize wound care. The 2024 Wound Healing Society Guidelines have recognized the promise of electrical stimulation in wound management, particularly for those with diabetes, by awarding it a Level I recommendation. This reflects the highest confidence in the intervention’s efficacy for chronic wound care. - Evidence Grading: A Closer Look - Level I: Represents robust evidence, including meta-analyses or multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs), supporting an intervention. It may also encompass extensive experimental research corroborated by clinical studies. Level II: Indicates substantial evidence, such as at least one RCT and additional clinical series or expert reviews, suggesting the intervention’s effectiveness, albeit with limited human trials. Level III: Suggestive early evidence, lacking extensive data like meta-analyses or multiple RCTs, but pointing towards potential benefits. Pioneering research by Dr. Lawson, Dr. Arena, and Dr. Petrofsky has unveiled that combining controlled heat with electrical stimulation can synergistically boost blood perfusion. This breakthrough is especially advantageous for diabetic patients with ulcers, offering significantly improved healing outcomes over traditional treatments. Join us on this exciting journey as we continue to validate Senlore’s efficacy through meticulous research and aim to set a new standard in evidence-based medical innovation. ...

This patient's iliac vein was being compressed and pinched in two areas, as shown in the before image. A compressed iliac vein is a serious vascular condition known as May-Thurner Syndrome. This condition restricts blood circulation from the leg to the heart, causing debilitating leg swelling, leg cramps, and leg pain. To open the iliac vein our vascular surgeons used advanced endovascular techniques, including the placement of a stent and the deployment of a balloon within the iliac vein. This procedure effectively opened the iliac vein, restoring normal blood circulation and relieving the patient's symptoms. Our vascular surgeons leverage the latest intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) technology for precise diagnosis and treatment, ensuring the best possible outcomes. This innovative approach allows us to provide effective care on an outpatient basis, minimizing disruption to our patients' lives. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome, contact Milford Vascular Institute today. Our expert team is dedicated to restoring your circulation and improving your quality of life.

How do you prescribe preoperative exercise to your patients? The only intervention that fits all, almost.. Especially the motivated! Exercise has a positive impact on a wide spectrum of preoperative parameters, especially in vascular patients, with very little risk, but questionable applicability.. During my research, I was starting to notice a positive effect in preoperative patients who undergo a combination of resistance and light cardio training: frequently (i.e ever other day), and at an appropriate intensity (nowadays called zone 2 to 3 exercise). Here's a good article to get you reading on the topic: https://lnkd.in/g9pZtzqn I will be digging for some new evidence on prescribing preoperative exercise, tracking it and its relationship to surgical outcomes..

Carotid endarterectomy is considered the standard of care for people with moderate to high carotid stenosis. However, both medical therapy and surgical techniques have improved considerably since the landmark clinical trials were conducted 30 years ago. This study uses recent data and modelling techniques to consider the cost-effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy versus current best medical therapy.
