Percutaneous recanalization of lower limb chronic total occlusions via tibial artery access using the BeBack™ crossing catheter.

Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BeBack™ crossing catheter for percutaneous recanalization of lower limb chronic total occlusions (CTO) via tibial artery access in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 21 patients who underwent 22 limb recanalization procedures between May 2021 and April 2024. The BeBack™ catheter was utilized after traditional methods of recanalization failed.

The jailed coiling technique: An endovascular solution for saccular aneurysms with suboptimal fixation sites.

Objective: To evaluate the midterm results of patients with saccular aneurysms treated with the jailed coiling technique.

Methods: A retrospective review of 17 patients treated with the jailed coiling technique over a 7 year period, between 2018 and 2024 at our institution. Treatment entails placing an endograft across the neck of the saccular aneurysm followed by coiling of the aneurysm through an extraluminal catheter.

Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-Delivered Exosomal TAT and BiTE Molecule CD4-αCD3 Facilitate the Elimination of CD4 T Cells Harboring Latent HIV-1.

Combinatorial antiretroviral therapy (cART) has transformed HIV infection from a death sentence to a controllable chronic disease, but cannot eliminate the virus. Latent HIV-1 reservoirs are the major obstacles to cure HIV-1 infection. Previously, we engineered exosomal Tat (Exo-Tat) to reactivate latent HIV-1 from the reservoir of resting CD4+ T cells.

Evaluating Child Passenger Restraint Use Education.

Background: Despite recommendations and laws for child restraint use in motor vehicles, evidence of low restraint use remains, and there is a lack of evidence addressing the effectiveness of restraint use education.

Objective: This project aims to measure the impact of an education initiative on child passenger restraint use.

Methods: This pre- and postintervention study was conducted in six elementary schools in a Southwestern U.

Medium-term outcomes of EXTra-design engineering inner-branch ENdografts for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms from a multicenter collaboration.

Objective: This study aims to present the medium-term outcomes of Extra-Design engineering endografts with inner branches (EDE-iBEVARs, Artivion) in endovascular aortic repairs of complex aneurysms building upon promising early results.

Methods: A retrospective, international, multi-center study was conducted including consecutive patients who underwent complex endovascular aortic repairs using EDE-iBEVARs between 2018 and 2022. Patient demographics, aneurysm anatomical features, procedural details, reinterventions, complications, and endograft failures during follow-up were assessed.
