This Vascular Test Will Tell You More Than Angio Ever Could | LOF #68

Vascular technologist Jill Sommerset and dual-registered cardiac and vascular sonographer, Abigail Mize, join us for a deep, practical conversation about one of the biggest shifts happening in CLI care right now. They break down how a simple but powerful technique, Pedal Acceleration Time (PAT), is helping clinicians move from image-based outcomes to physiology-based decisions. PAT isn’t just another number to collect. It’s changing how teams define success, when they choose to intervene, and how they decide a case is done. We also talk about the team dynamics that PAT helps uncover, the educational gaps that still need to be addressed, and what happens when technologists, physicians, and nurses start speaking the same language again. If you’re unfamiliar with PAT or want to dive deeper, we recommend this overview in Endovascular Today: 📄 Pedal Acceleration Time: Technique for Assessing Revascularization Efficacy 🎧 A must-listen for anyone who believes great outcomes are about more than what you see on a screen. 00:00 Meet Jill and Abby 06:18 What duplex reveals that angio can’t 12:06 IVUS isn't your get-out-of-jail-free card 32:05 When to step out of the case 33:05 What most training still gets wrong 36:00 How PAT is reshaping care, team dynamics, and long-term results 💡 Who Should Listen? This episode is for physicians, vascular technologists, nurses, and anyone treating patients with critical limb ischemia. It’s for clinicians looking to make smarter decisions, have clearer post-procedure conversations, and rethink what progress actually looks like. It’s also for educators, clinical leaders, and anyone trying to build stronger collaboration inside vascular teams. About Jill Sommerset & Abigail Mize Jill Sommerset is a nationally recognized vascular sonographer, educator, and physiology-first advocate who helped develop and standardize the use of PAT in post-intervention care.
