Bullet embolus from GSW to the chest... one entry wound and negative cxr ...with some head scratching, the cold leg clued us in. .014 balloon recovery and TEVAR from the same groin exposure.
Thankful patient with claudication. “Everyone wanted to stent my legs, but all I had to do was quit smoking and walk everyday …. Thanks Doc !”

My morning ....
Resident: would you like to round ?
Me : yes.
Resident: we have a symptomatic AAA that just came in.
Me: oh really?
Resident: We sized him, called the rep and got you another room. We called for the patient.
Me: Am I dreaming ?
Mentorship is an invaluable gift in one’s career. Today I had the privilege to scrub on Jeff Carpenter’s last case 🥹( CEA). A master surgeon and friend. His impact on me and my career cannot be overstated.
Who was that mentor for you ? #aortaed. @BavariaMd@FrankCaputoMD
Did you ever say to a patient, we got there just in time ? ICA looked abnormal in OR, clot slid out with plaque... no clamp on ica. Neuro intact. #cea#lineareversion#betterluckythangood.
