Article Synopsis
- Endovascular procedures like TAVR, TEVAR, and EVAR are becoming more common but still carry risks, especially for older and frail patients.
- This paper discusses two cases where complications arose from large bore access during such procedures and the innovative methods used to manage them.
- The insights gained from these cases provide valuable guidance for clinicians facing similar challenges in future interventions.
Article Synopsis
- - Over the last 30 years, miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) has gained popularity due to its potential to reduce complications compared to standard procedures, but there's still debate over best practices and management strategies that hinders wider use.
- - An international panel of urology experts developed a consensus document on mPCNL to provide a comprehensive framework for practice, which included reviewing literature, identifying research gaps, and conducting surveys to gather expert opinions.
- - The study revealed 58 key questions on mPCNL practices, and consensus was achieved on 30 questions, affirming mPCNL as an effective technique for treating upper urinary tract stones in both adults and children.
Percutaneous endovascular management of Angio-Seal related vascular occlusion.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Vascular closure devices (VCDs) like Angio-Seal are commonly used after femoral arterial access but can cause complications such as bleeding or artery occlusion, requiring intervention.
- A study analyzed 40 patients who faced occlusive issues post Angio-Seal deployment and utilized a peripheral endovascular interventional (PEI) approach, achieving a 100% success rate with no complications.
- The primary treatment was directional atherectomy, with effective long-term outcomes observed during follow-up, indicating this method's safety and effectiveness in restoring arterial flow.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with high prevalence in men and is characterized by symptoms such as tremors and gait difficulties. This study aimed to determine muscle activation in patients with PD by considering sex differences. This pilot study used analytical, quantitative, observational, and case-control methods.
