Background: The Optilume paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) is a relatively new-to-market alternative in the management of male anterior urethral stricture disease. The pivotal trial excluded patients with a history of urethroplasty, although these strictures may be amenable to endoscopic management. Therefore, we sought to assess the efficacy of the DCB in the management of recurrent strictures following urethroplasty.

Background: Adverse events after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are rare, and post-ERCP pancreatitis is a serious adverse event. This study aimed to determine the role of aggressive intravenous hydration with lactated Ringer's solution at a specific volume with 20% human albumin before ERCP in reducing the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Methods: This study was a single-centre randomized clinical trial.

Background/aims: Radial incision and cutting (RIC) is an alternative dilation method for stenosis of the lower gastrointestinal tract. However, its safety and efficacy for the small intestine requiring balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) remain limited. Therefore, this pilot study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RIC using BAE.

Pipeline embolization device for aneurysm recurrence after stent-assisted coiling.

Neuroradiology

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, Litang Road 168, Beijing, 102218, China.

Objective: Since the emergence of the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED), its off-label use has significantly improved the treatment effectiveness of complex intracranial aneurysms, including the treatment of recurrent aneurysms. Although PED is effective in this situation, there is still a lack of evidence-based medicine for its role in recurrent aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PED treatment for recurrent aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling.

Purpose: To assess differences in safety and efficacy between 24 and 18 Fr pneumatic balloon dilators for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) of renal stones between 10 and 20 mm.

Methods: Patients were randomized to dilatation with a 24 Fr (Group A) versus 18 Fr (Group B) Ultraxx pneumatic dilator (Cook Medical). In all procedures percutaneous puncture was performed under ultrasound guidance.
