In this second installment of the "Rant of Venous Arterialization of The Foot" on the Life of Flow podcast, hosts Lucas Ferrer and Miguel Montero Baker continue their in-depth exploration of arterialization procedures. The episode covers various aspects, including addressing complications with wires and lasers, stenting techniques, and post-dilation strategies focused on vein preservation. The hosts emphasize their preference for distal stenting, and share insights into challenges related to early failure and neointimal hyperplasia.
The conversation extends to ongoing histological studies, highlighting the potential trauma caused during the procedure. Additional topics include coiling for flow modulation, valvulolysis of metatarsal veins, and stenting proximal segments. The hosts conclude with a disclaimer that their techniques are based on personal experiences and may not be universal. They tease a future episode focusing on postoperative care, rounding out another engaging and informative discussion in the realm of venous arterialization.
