The POTScast Vascular surgeons Robert Hacker and Deena Chihade on venous compressions, stenting, and POTS
Vascular surgeons Dr. Robert Hacker and Dr. Deena Chihade share their unusual path to POTS via looking at the venous system, and explain what they are seeing in patients before and after addressing venous compression syndromes such as May Thurner Syndrome and Nutcracker Syndrome. Dr. Hacker estimates that venous obstructions may play a role in more POTS patients than previously thought, and Dr. Chihade shares the research study she presented at the Dysautonomia International poster session. Both doctors explain how their clinic tests and treats patients for potential compressions and what the stenting procedure is like. Their website is https://stlvascular.com/.
