Third DVA this month in the #OBL. Horrific plantar wound. Ossified PT. DVAs at @VascNC now routinely skin-to-skin under 2 hrs. No Viabahn. Supera. Note from DPM - “He bled PROFUSELY during the surgery. Had to use multiple forms of cautery. Had to change dressing in recovery”

“Now, you’ve got an aneurysm in there as big as a grapefruit, and it’s about ready to burst. But you’re a strong boy, and I’m the best surgeon in the world, so if this had to happen, we’ve got the best possible odds.”
