Background: With the rapid expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), TAVR valve explantation is also increasing. Nevertheless, previous reports on Lotus Edge valve explantation are limited to only two reports, none of which include intraoperative videos. Therefore, we report the case of an older adult who underwent a 2-year-old Lotus Edge valve explantation, after developing prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and aortic annular abscess, with a strong indication for a TAVR explantation and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).

Background: This study aimed to investigate initial experiences and outcomes of a retrograde inserted new silicone-covered metallic ureteric stent (Urexel™) for malignant ureteric obstruction.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records for 12 consecutive patients who underwent Urexel™ stent placement for malignant ureteric obstruction from March 2020 to March 2021. The Urexel™ stent is a segmental metallic ureteric stent composed of a nitinol mesh covered with a silicone membrane.

Unlabelled: Data about the long-term safety and efficacy of stent implantation for central venous stenosis in patients on dialysis are limited. We report the case of a 66-year-old man on hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease who presented with stasis dermatitis around an arteriovenous shunt with ulceration of the left forearm. Computed tomography angiography showed a tight stenosis of the proximal left subclavian vein and the development of collateral blood vessels around the stenosis.

A 61-year-old man was referred to our hospital for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection and an emergency operation was planned. In this case, the aberrant left vertebral artery originated directly from the aortic arch. Total arch replacement at the level between the left carotid artery and left aberrant vertebral artery was performed and an open stent graft was deployed in the true lumen of the descending aorta to obtain better distal aortic remodeling.
