    Journal Review in Vascular Surgery: Vascular Extremity Trauma

    12/10/2026 | 47 mins.
    It’s 2 a.m. and a patient with a GSW to the thigh is rolling into the trauma bay. He’s hypotensive, tachycardic, and has a tourniquet in place. Do you get a CTA or go straight to the OR? What do you do with the tourniquet?
    Join us as we work through this and two other cases of extremity vascular trauma and break down the literature to answer these questions and discuss how we should approach these challenging injuries.
    Hosts:
    ·      Christian Hadeed - PGY 5 General Surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center
    ·      Paul Haser -Division Chief, Vascular Surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center
    ·      Andrew Harrington – Division Chief, Vascular surgery, Richmond University Medical Center
    ·      Lucio Flores - Vascular surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center
    Learning Objectives:
    ·      Apply the X-ABCDE approach to patients with extremity vascular trauma, including the role of early hemorrhage control and tourniquets.
    ·      Recognize the hard and soft signs of extremity arterial injury and determine when additional vascular imaging is indicated.
    ·      Describe the role of the ankle-brachial index, CT angiography, and conventional angiography in the evaluation of suspected extremity vascular injury.
    ·      Discuss the principles of operative management of extremity vascular injuries, including temporary shunting, vascular repair, and restoration of limb perfusion.
    ·      Briefly discuss mangles extremities and when saving the limb may not be appropritate

    Journal Review in Emergency General Surgery: STOP-IT - What a Decade of Data Has Taught Us

    05/10/2026 | 28 mins.
    It’s postoperative day four after surgery for a perforated colon. The source appears controlled, but the patient is still intubated, the white count is eighteen, and nobody feels comfortable stopping piperacillin–tazobactam. Is four days really enough? Does the ICU buy another four—or is it time to ask what we’re missing?
    Join Drs. Rushabh Dev, Skye Shultz, Kelly Ray, Desra Fletcher, and Brycen Ratcliffe from the Emergency General Surgery team in Tiger Country at Mizzou as they revisit STOP-IT and examine what more than a decade of evidence has added to the management of complicated intra-abdominal infection.
    In this EGS Journal Review, the team appraises the landmark trial, explores its subgroup analyses and limitations, and puts contemporary SIS, IDSA, AAST, and Surviving Sepsis guidance into context. The discussion moves from source control and antibiotic duration to resistant organisms, cultures, de-escalation, ICU dosing, and the role of procalcitonin.
    For most complicated intra-abdominal infections, approximately four days after adequate source control remains the default. Persistent illness should prompt a search for failed source control, ineffective therapy, or another diagnosis before simply extending the stop date.

    Hosts

    Dr. Rushabh Dev, MD, FACS – Moderator and Acute Care Surgeon, University of Missouri

    Dr. Skye Shultz – Surgical Critical Care Fellow, University of Missouri

    Dr. Kelly Ray – General Surgery Resident; STOP-IT appraisal and antimicrobial selection

    Dr. Desra Fletcher – General Surgery Resident, University of Missouri; post-STOP-IT evidence and implementation

    Dr. Brycen Ratcliffe – General Surgery Resident; society guidance and microbiology

    Learning Objectives
    By the end of this episode, listeners should be able to:
    ·       Describe the design, principal results, strengths, and limitations of STOP-IT, including why adequate source control is essential to applying its findings.
    ·       Apply short-course therapy after adequate operative or percutaneous source control and explain why sepsis alone, obesity, or diabetes does not automatically require a longer course.
    ·       Distinguish the four-day default from the weaker SIS recommendation supporting up to eight days in selected critically ill patients after adequate source control.
    ·       Recognize persistent or worsening illness that warrants reassessment of source control, drain function, microbiology, drug exposure, or alternative diagnoses.
    ·       Differentiate the treatment scope of SIS guidance from the diagnostic and microbiology focus of IDSA 2024, the AAST surgical ICU consensus, and broader sepsis and antimicrobial-resistance guidance.
    ·       Select and de-escalate antimicrobials using infection setting, resistance risk, cultures, local susceptibility data, and patient-specific dosing considerations.
    ·       Explain the limited adjunctive role of procalcitonin in antibiotic discontinuation when duration remains uncertain, including the implications of ADAPT-Sepsis.

    Journal Review in Vascular Surgery: Disrupt PAD III: Intravascular Lithotripsy for Calcified Peripheral Artery Disease

    28/09/2026 | 32 mins.
    Calcified peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains one of the most challenging problems in endovascular intervention. Calcium limits vessel expansion, increases the risk of dissection and procedural failure, and can ultimately lead to bailout stenting. The Disrupt PAD III program provided important evidence for a different approach: intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) as a vessel-preparation strategy. In this episode, we examine the randomized Disrupt PAD III trial published by Tepe and colleagues and the large, real-world observational analysis led by Armstrong and colleagues. Together, these studies explore whether IVL can make treatment of heavily calcified lesions more predictable, reduce the need for stenting, and support a “leave-nothing-behind” strategy.
    Hosts:
    Dr. Robert Beaulieu
    Dr. Frank Davis
    Dr. Luciano Delbono
    Dr. Andrew Huang
    Dr. Carolyn Judge
    Learning Objectives
    By the end of this episode, listeners should be able to:

    Explain the challenges posed by moderate to severe vascular calcification during peripheral endovascular intervention and the rationale for dedicated vessel-preparation strategies.

    Describe the design, patient population, endpoints, and primary findings of the randomized Disrupt PAD III trial comparing IVL with conventional PTA.

    Interpret the procedural and longer-term outcomes associated with IVL, including residual stenosis, dissection rates, bailout stenting, and primary patency.

    Evaluate how the Disrupt PAD III observational study complements the randomized trial by examining IVL in a larger, more complex, real-world population and across multiple vascular beds.

    Identify the practical implications, limitations, and remaining unanswered questions surrounding IVL, including its role relative to other calcium-modification strategies such as atherectomy.
