The Venous Registries Education and Panel Discussion session of Vascular Quality Initiative Annual Meeting will begin soon in the West Building, Level 4, Room W470 The session will be moderated by Jens Eldrup-Jorgensen and will feature talks from Stacey Esposito, Olamide Alabi, and Caroline Morgan, among others. Discussion topics include optimizing symptom documentation for varicose vein patients, IVC filter quality initiative, and a venous registries panel discussion. #VQI@VAM #VAM24

📢 Exciting Update! We have just updated our house constraint table, derived primarily from the Timmermann Tables (https://lnkd.in/eMp3HEmS) and CORSAIR (https://lnkd.in/ei3uCsvE). In the attached photo, you can see a poster of these updated constraints outlining the most common fractionation schemes in our clinic, with colleagues discussing the selection of potential treatment concepts while considering the trade-off of increased risk of side effects. It's crucial to adhere to dose constraints for organs to ensure safe and effective treatment; however, it’s important to note that these constraints do not imply that organs always take precedence. Our primary goal remains efficient tumor control, following the ALARA principle (as low as reasonably achievable). We aim to make these constraints accessible to all colleagues, integrate them into standard operating procedures (SOPs), and implement robust, ideally automated, checks and documentation for every patient. This aligns with the IMRT recommendations from AAPM (2009), DGMP (2018), DEGRO (2018), as well as the standards set by DIN 6827-1 and the ICRU 83 report. Let’s continue to prioritize patient safety and treatment quality! 💪

🚨#EHRAtopicweek on AF ablation as first line therapy! Jason Andrade explains: ➡️It is tied very closely to the patient selection, referring to the EARLY-AF study. ➡️ A randomized trial designed to evaluate the optimal first management approach for patients with AF. First-line catheter ablation significantly reduced arrhythmia recurrence & arrhythmia burden. That led to an improvement in QoL compared to med Tx, which led to a reduction in hospitalisation in the year following intervention. #EHRA_ESC https://lnkd.in/ecxjf2ds

Australian study explores the success of the GlideScope® Go™ and other video laryngoscope options through a non-inferiority trial. After examining 172 patients, the results reveal the Go to be an effective solution in performing a first-pass success in tracheal intubation.

Our recent study demonstrated that the combination of LIVERSTAT and Fibroscan offers a powerful one-step assessment for MASLD-related fibrosis. This combination: ✅ Identifies twice as many advanced fibrosis (F3F4) cases compared to the traditional FIB-4 and Fibroscan combo. ✅ Eliminates the "grey zone" in detection, ensuring no F3F4 patients are missed.
 ✅ Detects 41% of F3F4 cases missed by FIB-4. This streamlined approach offers a more accurate and efficient tool for early fibrosis identification, helping to ensure timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.

PCR Perspectives: Antiplatelet de-escalation after complex PCI - when and how? #Ischemia and bleeding are crucial risks to consider in patient care. Consequently, de-escalation is recommended for patients undergoing complex PCI, as it effectively reduces bleeding risk. Jolanta Siller-Matula, MD PhD PD and Alessandro Sticchi discuss three de-escalation scenarios: switching, dose reduction, and discontinuation, and when and how to implement each strategy to optimise outcomes. 📺 https://lnkd.in/dadj-bWa #interventionalcardiology #EuroPCR
