Pathophysiology/etiology Carotid artery disease is primarily driven by atherosclerotic plaque deposition.  Risk factors: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and advanced age. Nonatherosclerotic etiologies: fibromuscular dysplasia, carotid dissection, vasculitic disease, carotid webs, and trauma. When the endothelium is damaged, monocytes migrate to the site and differentiate into macrophages that take up oxidized LDL particles to become foam cells. Meanwhile, an inflammatory response occurs where activated platelets release thromboxane A2, platelet derived growth factor, and inflammatory cytokines that promote further platelet aggregation and vascular inflammation. Smooth muscle cells migrate and proliferate, forming the structural framework of the atheroma.  Within the lesion, necrotic debris and lipid accumulate, creating a vulnerable plaque. Plaque rupture exposes this material to the bloodstream, serving as a nidus for thrombus formation which can lead to ischemic events. Carotid bifurcation is particularly prone to plaque formation due to turbulent blood flow. Embolization of plaque from this area can result in TIA or ischemic stroke.  2. Presentation Patients are often asymptomatic and stenosis is incidentally found on imaging.  Symptomatic patients present with neurologic symptoms including unilateral motor and sensory loss, aphasia (difficulty finding words), dysarthria (difficulty speaking), amaurosis fugax (temporary monocular vision loss due to embolus to the ophthalmic artery), transient ischemic attacks Physical exam findings may be notable for auscultation of a carotid bruit. Patients may also have evidence of retinal artery embolization on fundoscopic examination (Hollenhorst plaque) or asymptomatic cerebral infarction.  3. Diagnosis USPTF recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.  In patients with no risk factors, SVS recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. However, they do recommend screening for asymptomatic clinically significant carotid bifurcation in certain groups of patients with multiple risk factors.  These risk factors include patients with clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, patients 65 and older with history of CAD, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and patients prior to coronary artery bypass.  Relevant findings on physical exam or imaging findings may warrant screening, but screening is not recommended for the presence of neck bruit alone without other risk factors, as this finding has a low sensitivity and specificity for detecting clinically significant carotid artery stenosis.  Carotid duplex ultrasound: first-line imaging modality for both screening and initial evaluation of stenosis, noninvasive, low-cost CTA: rapid, high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of vascular anatomy, risk of contrast and radiation exposure MRA: high-quality, three-dimensional imaging without radiation or contrast, expensive with longer acquisition time, can overestimate stenosis in severe disease DSA/angiography: gold standard, expensive, invasive, not generally recommended for routine diagnostic evaluation or screening 4. Classification Carotid artery stenosis is classified by degree of luminal narrowing. NASCET method: standard in current practice. Compares the minimal residual lumen at the point of greatest stenosis to the diameter of the normal distal internal carotid artery.  Classification of stenosis: Mild: 70 bpm, and ACT >250 seconds to optimize cerebral perfusion and minimize thrombotic risk. Clamp the carotid artery just proximal to the arterial sheath to establish active flow reversal.  Flow controller settings: Low setting High setting Flow-stop button: allows for temporary cessation of flow (used when we inject contrast).  Confirm flow reversal via two different ways:  The first way is to stop flow to the venous return sheath with the stopcock, clearing the line with hep saline injection, and then opening the stopcock and seeing the blood returning to the controller in a reverse fashion. The second way is to perform an angiogram with a small amount of contrast injection while holding the flow-stop button. Using the angio we want to make sure that contrast is flowing retrograde in the cervical ICA thereby confirming flow reversal.    Carotid artery stenting, balloon angioplasty, and completion angiogram At this point, a standard carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure is performed. ENROUTE transcarotid Neuroprotection System device:  inner diameter of 8F and an outer diameter of 10F Has its own carotid artery stent system but is also compatible with all FDA-approved carotid stents.  Final angiogram is performed to confirm stent position, vessel patency, and absence of complications including vasospasm at the distal end of the stent and filling defects from protrusion of atheromatous material through the stent    Cessation of flow reversal and sheath removal Allow the flow reversal to run for a few minutes after the final balloon angioplasty to clear any debris.  Antegrade flow is restored by releasing the carotid clamp and closing the stopcocks on the neuroprotection system.  The patient is auto-transfused the blood from the flow line back to the venous system.  As the arterial access system is removed and the puncture site is closed with the U-stitch.  IV protamine is administered to reverse the heparin. Standard closure is performed at the incision site. Meanwhile, hemostasis is achieved after removal of the femoral vein sheath with brief manual compression.  Postop care/complications Postop care All patients after a TCAR should be monitored in the ICU setting for 24 hours, as an embolic stroke, hypotension with or without bradycardia, or hypertension can occur.  Should a TIA or stroke be observed, a carotid duplex scan and CT angiogram should be immediately obtained to assess the stent site and the presence of an embolic or thrombotic filling defect, dissection, or occlusion.  Dual antiplatelet therapy: continue for 45 days to 12 months Aspirin and statin therapy: continued indefinitely Surveillance duplex imaging: 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months, and annually thereafter. Postop complications Hematoma Stroke Myocardial infarction Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome Sudden and excessive increase in cerebral blood flow to previously hypoperfused brain tissue is met with vasculature that cannot constrict appropriately from chronic vasodilation Leads to breakthrough hyperperfusion. This results in cerebral edema, intracerebral hemorrhage, and neurological symptoms.  Cranial nerve injury Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) injury: ipsilateral tongue deviation. It is the most commonly injured cranial nerve.  Vagus nerve (CN X) injury: hoarseness and possible vocal cord paralysis.  Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) injury: soft palate dysfunction.  Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury: voice hoarseness and inability to cough as it innervates all of the voice box muscles except for the cricothyroid muscle Marginal mandibular nerve injury: ipsilateral lip droop, injury is rare in TCAR.  Stent restenosis Pseudoaneurysm Access site infection

Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss Kim's new clinic work with an unusually outcome-focused orthopedic surgeon and the importance of tracking "end results" in patient care, referencing Dr. Codman's philosophy and how managed care shifted medicine away from long-term follow-up. They explore perioperative gaps, emphasizing prehab, patient empowerment, sleep, protein and vitamin C, and using FSM to address fear, stress, pain, and recovery, including early post-op use with electrodes or magnetic pucks. They answer questions about latent TB exposure and knee "bone on bone" pain (noting MRI for cartilage/meniscus assessment and published cartilage-thickness papers), postpartum healing with EDS and wound healing, topical melatonin in DMSO/emu oil, and rethinking "dehydrated" nervous tissue as inflammation/secretions issues. They share an animal success story, discuss why FSM spreads via reproducible results and training, and mention upcoming dentistry and Switzerland presentations. 00:00 Unicorn Surgeon Praise 00:57 Podcast Intro and Updates 01:23 New Clinic and Flow State 03:00 Outcome Focused Surgery Team 04:40 Codman and End Result Idea 08:53 Prehab Before Surgery Gaps 11:32 Empowering Patients to Heal 16:40 Post Op Guides and FSM Use 21:08 Clinic Life and Q&A Setup 21:51 TB Exposure and Knee Pain Q&A 28:07 Lung Scarring Limits 29:39 Latent TB Drive By 29:51 Postpartum EDS Healing 32:38 Topical Melatonin Blend 34:39 Why FSM Isn't Everywhere 39:02 Evidence And Sports Adoption 45:28 Animal Success Stories 49:36 Hydration And Nerve Function 53:03 Vet Applications And Wrap Up

Cannabis has gone mainstream, but perioperative risk has not improved. THC products are far more potent than they were decades ago, emergency room visits are climbing, and many patients still walk into surgery thinking that it's safe. We want anesthesia professionals to have a clearer, evidence-informed way to think about cannabis and anesthesia before the next case. We open the latest APSF newsletter feature article, “Cannabis and Anesthesia,” and bring in author Trisha Meyer to frame why this topic matters now. Together, we walk through the pharmacology that shows up at the bedside: THC vs CBD, CB1 and CB2 receptors, the endocannabinoid system, and how route of use changes onset and duration. Then we get practical about drug-drug interactions and highlight a free interaction-checking resource you can use in real time.From there, we map cannabis use across the perioperative timeline. Preop means asking better questions and documenting details like product type, dose, frequency, last use, and withdrawal symptoms, plus knowing when intoxication should delay elective surgery and when cardiac risk may need more workup. Intraop means expecting possible higher propofol and sedative requirements, watching for cardiovascular instability, and preparing for airway hyperreactivity and bronchospasm in inhaled users. Postop means planning for higher pain needs, using multimodal analgesia, and recognizing withdrawal, hypothermia, and shivering patterns that can surprise teams.If you care about perioperative patient safety, listen, share this with a colleague, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/299-cannabis-and-anesthesia/© 2026, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

Why do some plastic surgery procedures require an overnight recovery stay? In this episode of Plastic Surgery 90210, Ariel and Dr. J. Timothy Katzen discuss why certain surgeries benefit from professional post-operative monitoring and specialized aftercare facilities. From major body contouring procedures like 360 lower body lift surgery and thigh lift surgery to facelifts and neck lifts, Dr. Katzen explains how overnight recovery care helps improve patient safety, manage pain, monitor vital signs, and support optimal healing.Dr. Katzen also explains what happens during the first 24–48 hours after surgery, why nurses monitor drains, blood pressure, and mobility, and how early walking and proper nutrition can reduce complications. Patients often underestimate how challenging the first night after major surgery can be, which is why a professional recovery center can provide an extra layer of care.You will also learn how recovery centers support healing with services like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, professional nursing care, medication management, and assistance with early ambulation. Dr. Katzen shares why these resources are especially helpful for patients undergoing larger procedures such as body contouring after major weight loss.If you are considering plastic surgery in Beverly Hills, understanding the recovery process is just as important as the surgery itself. This episode helps patients prepare for a smoother, safer recovery.

Lipoedème : on parle souvent des opérations comme d'une solution Mais beaucoup plus rarement de l'AVANT, du POST-OP et de ce qui se passe 1 an plus tard.Dans cette vidéo, je te partage mon expérience personnelle des opérations du lipœdème :• comment j'ai vécu la période pré-opératoire• ce que le post-op change vraiment (et ce qu'on ne dit pas)• les attentes vs la réalité• ce que j'ai compris 1 an après mes chirurgiesCette vidéo n'est pas un avis médical, mais un témoignage honnête et nuancé. L'opération du lipœdème peut aider, mais elle ne règle pas tout.Et l'après est souvent plus complexe qu'on ne l'imagine.Si tu te poses des questions sur la chirurgie du lipœdème, si tu envisages une opération ou si tu es déjà en post-op, j'espère que cette vidéo pourra t'apporter du recul et de la douceur.Tu n'es pas seule

Patients are encouraged to choose practitioners who make them feel comfortable, listen attentively, and explain procedures thoroughly. Additionally, it is vital for practitioners to act as patient educators and advocates, ensuring that patients are aware of their options and understand what to expect from surgical and post-operative care. Importance of Surgical Notes Accessing detailed surgical notes is essential for creating a customized and effective post-operative care plan. Surgical notes provide insights into the procedural steps taken during surgery, highlighting areas that may require focused rehabilitation or specific therapeutic interventions.  Customized Post-Operative Care  - Utilizing FSM to address specific post-operative complications such as inflammation and adhesions. - Developing tailored protocols that may involve restoring joint function, reducing pain, and improving muscle or tissue healing. - Implementing FSM for emotional support, addressing emotional stress or trauma that can accompany physical injuries and surgeries. Managing Emotional Aspects in Healing  FSM is also used to manage emotional components intertwined with physical healing. Addressing emotions such as anger, fear, and grief using specific frequencies is integral to comprehensive care. Understanding the psychology behind these emotions and treating them in a methodical sequence can significantly improve patient responses and recovery.

I'm sharing everything I've learned from helping women through their tummy tuck journeys — the real stuff nobody tells you before surgery. From managing pain and swelling to finding that perfect comfy spot, this is your inside scoop on what recovery really looks like.Here's what we're getting into: 

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: How to SCULPT YOUR MUSCLES AND TIGHTEN YOUR SKIN after weight loss! How to decrease VISCERAL FAT A new way to IMPROVE MUSCLE MASS by 30% for strength and beauty in 4 weeks DECREASE SUBCUTANEOUS FAT by 25% in 4 weekly treatments INCREASE MUSCLE DEFINITION with Emsculpt Neo A way to REHABILITATE AFTER SURGERY PRE-TREAT BEFORE SURGERY: Improve your post op joint surgery condition by increasing muscle around the joint HOW TO RECOVER Quickly AFTER CHILDBIRTH A Way to IMPROVE CORE AND PELVIC FLOOR STRENGTH How EM-Sculpt-Neo works Most of you know me as the expert in Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Replacement, but I am also expert in Skin and body care.  If my patients have problems that your PCP has not been able to solve.  I will refer you for new therapies, cutting edge treatments that work to treat your problem. The most common problem that my patients complain of is loss of muscle mass and changes in body fat that make them look old.  I found a treatment that is not a laser, but the Emsculpt Neo uses safe and effective magnetic energy plus RF treatment to reduce fat and build muscle in a 30-minute painless treatment. Today I am going to talk about a painless treatment that we offer at my medical spa, BioBalance® Skin that has just been approved by the FDA for rehab after joint surgery.  The magnetic energy (HIFEM) combined with RF energy increases muscle size and strength by 30%, dissolve fat by 25%, as well as tightens skin with the same treatment! EM Sculpt Neo is a 30-minute treatment that uses magnetic energy to make your muscles contract and is equal to thousands of crunches for 30 minutes. The RF portion breaks down subcutaneous fat in the same area.  There is no work on your part, you just lie there, and your muscles respond to the magnetic pull by increasing in size and strength.  Four sessions one week apart is the ideal number of treatments, and they come a in a package of four treatments to one area. The areas that most of us want to build muscle and lose fat in are our abs, upper arms, thighs, calves, love handles, and hips. If you need to do more than one area at a treatment you can do up to three areas, each for 30 minutes. If you have had joint surgery and need to increase your strength around that joint, EMSculpt Neo is very effective, after your doctor releases you to exercise. One of the big concerns with the new weight loss medications is that people often lose muscle as they lose weight.  This is especially common after age 40, in those people who are not on testosterone pellets. EMSculpt Neo adds a tool that can preserve or even increase muscle mass and decrease fat where you want to lose it. EMSculpt Neo for fat loss and muscle building (not for rehabilitation) should be saved for those weight loss patients who lose enough weight to achieve a BMI under 30. For the best results, we suggest a high protein low carb diet, protein, low carb diet, to give your body the building blocks for muscle tissue. We also will suggest supplements for nutrition and to abstain from alcohol to get the best results. Healthy fat loss takes combination of EMSCULPT NEO, Weight Loss Medication, activity, Low carb high protein diet.  We advise our patients over BMI of 30 to get started on weight loss first and continue diet medications while you are receiving EM-Sculpt Neo treatments. How do you lose weight without losing muscle? The Best Combination for the best results while you are losing weight on medication: EMSCULPT NEO to the areas you want to remove fat from Semaglutide or Tirzepatide medication to treat obesity for weight loss Testosterone Pellets if you are a woman over 40, and man over 50. Regular exercise like walking High protein diet Supplements to improve your ability to make muscle Who should do this EMSCULPT treatment? People who are working out but cannot do sit ups because of back injury Those folks who want fast muscle mass increase in specific areas Anyone who is on a weight loss program who is losing muscle and fat, or who has saggy skin in areas where they lost weight Patients anticipating a joint surgery Patients healing from joint surgery after PT Patients who cannot lift weights because of injury Those people who lift weights but cannot develop definition People with a Beer Belly with a lot of visceral fat Some people may not be able to enjoy this sculpting, muscle building method: We will do a free consultation before you sign up for a package of EMSculpt Neo and some patients will not get optimal results if they have any of the factors below: BMI greater than 30 Metal implants anywhere that are not titanium. Titanium is not magnetic, so it is ok to have a treatment if you have a titanium joint implant. No Rods or pins. Any pacemaker implant, pain pump under your skin, nerve stimulator or you are in the first 6 weeks post-surgery for any muscle area in the area. If you have a large abdominal hernia that was not repaired, then abdominal treatment is not advisable. You can still have other areas treated. If you have unrepaired joint damage, you can still have this treatment but let us know so we can slowly work the energy up around that joint. Those people who have a pannus, an apron of skin that hangs down below the vulva, or penis will not get enough relief from this procedure. These patients will need an abdominoplasty. This surgery is done by a plastic surgeon who removes excess skin and fat and repairs the muscles and fascia. You should not waste your money if you continue to drink alcohol while undergoing this treatment. Alcohol is a toxin and will prevent the growth of muscle and loss of body fat. Don't waste your money if you are not going to follow a low carb high protein diet during and after our treatment.  How does EMSCULPT Work? EMSCULPT combines HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology) and RF (Radio Frequency). HIFEM uses magnetic energy to contract muscles in a particular area at intensities that are not achievable with routine weightlifting. Fat tissue in the treated area is also reduced by increasing metabolic activity.  This results in Body Contouring. HIFEM is approved by the FDA for Body contouring, muscle stimulation, growth and to rehabilitate patients with injuries or after surgery. The second treatment that occurs at the same time as HIFEM is RF, Radio Frequency treatment. RF is a low frequency electromagnetic wave that heats up fat in 4 minutes to stimulate collagen and elastin to tighten skin. All this happens in 30 minutes with minimal discomfort.  4 treatments, one a month, is all that is needed to increase muscle 25% and to decrease fat by 30%, and to visibly improve skin tone. Answers to questions about this procedure: What should my diet consist of to optimize my treatment? To gain muscle you must eat your weight in pounds equivalent to grams of protein every day. E.g. If you weigh 200 lbs. and you want to gain muscle, you should eat 200 grams of protein a day. What foods should I eat to optimize my treatment? The best most concentrated protein is found in animal products-eggs, milk products, fish, chicken and red meat. What supplements will help support my treatment? You may want to supplement your diet with our BioBalance Magnesium combination twice a day, Probiotics, Creatine or Arginine and Ornithine combination. You should also take a methyl B12 and Methyl Folate while you are sculpting your body. Why can't I eat a lot of carbs and drink alcohol during or after the treatment? If you eat a high carb diet, your fat loss portion of Em-Sculpt will be limited, because whatever carb you eat over-stimulates insulin, which increases insulin resistance, and increases fat deposition. Whatever is eaten goes directly to fat again and replaces what you just lost. When can I start EMSculpt after joint surgery? After PT is completed or your surgeon releases you for exercise. Can I lift weights while I am being treated? Yes, but we advise not to lift weights the day before, the day of or the day after your EMSCULPT treatment. What does hydration have to be optimal for the treatment to work effectively? The human body is almost all water, and hydration is needed for muscle contraction. Muscles don't contract optimally when you are dehydrated. We put you on a body composition machine to both document your muscle mass and fat mass, as well as tell if you are hydrated adequately. Now that you know how EMSculpt Neo can change your body composition and build muscle, I hope you are comfortable enough to let us help you get the body you have always wanted.

Every day we pay our dues by doing the harder thing when it's the right thing to do, especially when managing the complicated early weeks of post-operative rehabilitation. • Understanding surgical procedures through observation, surgical textbooks, and building relationships with surgeons• Establishing direct communication with surgeons to obtain critical information rather than navigating complex administrative channels• Managing pain through appropriate medication, consistent icing, and education about maintaining comfort• Controlling swelling with compression, elevation, and controlled movement to prevent quadriceps inhibition• Prioritizing full hyperextension for knee surgeries to prevent complications like cyclops lesions• Using "consistency over intensity" approach with gentle, frequent interventions rather than aggressive stretching• Activating key muscles through neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in conjunction with volitional efforts• Progressing from assistive devices based on functional criteria rather than arbitrary timeframes• Applying similar systematic principles across different joints with appropriate modifications for specific procedures• Focusing on early hip labral repair rehabilitation with controlled motion and gradual progressionWe appreciate you listening!
