In this week’s episode of the Life of Flow podcast, hosts Dr. Miguel Montero-Baker and Dr. Lucas Ferrer sit down with Eloy Salazar, the first patient to undergo a deep vein arterialization (DVA) procedure by Dr. Ferrer after his fellowship in 2019. In the 5th episode in the DVA Rant series, they dive into Eloy's transformative journey from facing potential amputation to experiencing the life-saving benefits of DVA. Eloy candidly shares his initial skepticism, the emotional and physical challenges of severe peripheral arterial disease, and the critical role of patient advocacy in navigating complex medical treatments.
Listeners will hear about Eloy's remarkable transformation, including his significant weight loss through a keto diet and exercise, as well as the pivotal moments post-surgery that marked his path to recovery. The conversation dissects the importance of effective communication and support networks in healthcare, with Eloy highlighting the gratitude he found for Dr. Ferrer's direct approach.
