To evaluate the function of the fallopian tube after a recanalization by endoluminal laser probe, 34 mature female New Zealand white rabbits have been separated into two groups. The group 1 (nb = 12) had for aim to validate the procedure of obstruction. In group 2 (nb = 22), we performed the recanalization six weeks after the obstruction. The female rabbits underwent a fertilization six weeks after the laser treatment. The results have been appreciated by the ratio nidation/ovulation. In group 1, we valided the procedure of obstruction. In group 2 twelve rabbits on thirteen have been fecundated in the treated tube.

Objective: Simultaneous closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during cardiac procedures has become a common preventive measure against cardiogenic embolic events associated with atrial fibrillation. However, this strategy encounters limitations during minimally invasive mitral valve surgery through a right minithoracotomy because access to the LAA is limited. The use of endocardial sutures for surgical exclusion of the LAA is also well established but has a notable rate of closure failure.

In acute ischemic stroke, various endovascular approaches have been reported with high recanalization rates and good clinical outcomes. However, the best device or technique for the first attempt at mechanical thrombectomy remains a matter of debate. We report a case in which endoluminal injury from initial stent clot retrieval possibly caused repeated middle cerebral artery occlusion.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the differences in the biofilms and physical deposits on Crawford stents compared to large-diameter stents.
Methods: A prospective interventional study was performed on a series of patients undergoing external or endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and endoluminal lacrimal duct recanalization (ELDR) with either Crawford or large-diameter stents. All the Crawford stents were retrieved at six weeks and the large-diameter ones at eight weeks following the surgical intervention.

Introduction: In managing arterial rupture, stent-graft implantation may cause limb ischemia by crossing a major branch for hemostasis. The ViaHole technique could circumvent a major branch occlusion.
Materials And Methods: The process involved advancing retrograde devices into an occluded major branch by the stent-graft implantation to reach the outer surface of the stent-graft, puncturing the stent-graft with a 20-gauge needle to touch the retrograde device, manipulating the guidewire through the needle hole and externalizing it, advancing the microcatheter into the proximal lumen, catching the microcatheter using an antegrade 4-Fr catheter, inserting an antegrade guidewire into the retrograde microcatheter to cross the stent-graft hole, dilating the lesion and stent-graft hole using a 3.
