Introduction: Currently, there are two types of percutaneous arteriovenous fistula (pAVF) formation systems approved by the FDA: Ellipsys and WavelinQ. Although these systems are already in use in Europe or the United States, they have not been approved for use in Korea yet. For this reason, this study aimed to check anatomical feasibility of these systems for Korean population prior to their actual use.

- The study investigates the rates of malposition in peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) placed using ultrasound guidance, analyzing data from 5,981 patients over four years.
- Results showed that while 81.7% of catheter placements were optimal, 5% were malpositioned, with certain factors like height and body mass index significantly linked to malposition.
- The research concluded that ultrasound guidance helps minimize complications, and patients with specific risk factors should be monitored more closely during the procedure.
Polymyxin B hemoperfusion as a feasible therapy after source control in abdominal septic shock.
World J Gastrointest Surg
December 2019
Background: Polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX-HP) has been used as a treatment for intra-abdominal septic shock by absorbing and removing endotoxins of gram-negative bacilli.
Aim: To investigate the clinical efficacy of PMX-HP in patients with gram-negative septic shock who underwent abdominal surgery.
Methods: From January 2012 to December 2018, patients who had septic shock secondary to peritonitis were enrolled.
