The Cabrol technique is used to reimplant coronary arteries after aortic root replacement using a Dacron graft interposed between the aortic root graft and the native coronary artery. Although stenosis of the graft-coronary anastomosis has been described, there have been few reports of percutaneous intervention to these stenoses. An understanding of the Cabrol technique and its associated anatomical considerations is essential for invasive cardiologists, as they may encounter patients who have undergone this procedure. We report a case of emergent percutaneous intervention to a Cabrol graft-left main anastomosis in a patient who presented with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.

Comparison between Micro-(4.85Fr) and Ultramini-(<15Fr) percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the treatment of 10-20 mm kidney stones in preschool children.

Introduction: The incidence of kidney stones in children has steadily increased in recent years. Miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) techniques, such as micro-PCNL(4.85Fr) and ultramini-PCNL(<15Fr), have become increasingly prevalent in pediatric kidney stone treatment due to their high stone clearance rate and low complication rate.

Background: Shortened door-to-balloon time (D2B) has been documented to confer cardiovascular benefits for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, prolonged myocardial ischemic duration usually negates the beneficial effects due to delayed symptom-to-door time (S2D). In this study, we sought to investigate the joint effect of S2D-D2B in predicting clinical outcomes.

Heart and Vascular Institute, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, United States.
Background: There exists clinical equipoise regarding whether and when an invasive approach should be preferred over conservative treatment in the management of stable late ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting within 12 to 72 h of symptom onset.
Objective: To perform a systematic review to identify the most effective treatment strategy between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and medical therapy in stable late STEMI presenters by comparing their respective outcomes as well as determine the optimal timing of PCI by evaluating the outcomes of urgent versus non-urgent PCI approach in this patient population.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were queried from inception until March 2024 for studies comparing the outcomes of PCI versus medical therapy, as well as urgent versus non-urgent PCI, in stable late STEMI patients presenting with symptom onset within 12-72 h.

Background/aims: Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare cause of intestinal dysmotility. First-line treatment in adult patients is medical and nutritional therapy. For patients who fail these treatment options, surgical interventions may be an option.

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease, most but not all randomized trials have reported that complete revascularization (CR) offers advantages over culprit vessel-only revascularization. In addition, the optimal timing and assessment methods for CR remain undetermined.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal revascularization strategy in patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
