We report a case of penetration of the inferior vena cava (IVC) by all four primary struts of a Celect caval filter in a 17-year-old girl with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome. The girl presented with acute lower abdominal and right leg pain 17 days after filter insertion. An abdominal radiograph demonstrated that the filter had moved caudally and that the primary struts had splayed considerably since insertion. Contrast-enhanced CT confirmed that all four primary struts had penetrated the IVC wall. There was a small amount of retroperitoneal hemorrhage. The surrounding vessels and viscera were intact. The filter was subsequently retrieved without complication.

Long-term Follow-up Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Unprotected Left Main.
Rev Cardiovasc Med

Department of Cardiology, University Clinical Center of Serbia, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
Background: Elective unprotected left main (ULM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has long-term mortality rates comparable to surgical revascularization, thanks to advances in drug-eluting stent (DES) design, improved PCI techniques, and frequent use of intravascular imaging. However, urgent PCI of ULM culprit lesions remains associated with high in-hospital mortality and unfavourable long-term outcomes, including DES restenosis and stent thrombosis (ST). This analysis aimed to examine the long-term outcomes and healing of DES implanted in ULM during primary PCI using high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

Institute for Vascular Research, St. Franziskus Hospital, Münster, Germany.
Background: To compare the performance of a new-generation cobalt-chromium balloon-expandable bare metal stent with a stainless steel platform for the treatment of iliac occlusive disease.
Methods: Consecutive patients treated for symptomatic iliac occlusive disease between 2014 and 2021 with the cobalt-chromium Dynetic-35 or the stainless steel Dynamic platform were retrospectively evaluated. Outcome measures included technical success, device- or procedure-related death, clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR), primary patency, and major index limb amputation up to 12 months.

Rationale: We first report a unique case of proximal femoral Giant cell tumor of bone, a subtrochanteric lesion associated with femoral neck and intertrochanteric involvement. We chose a completely new surgical approach to treat the primary tumor and preserve the hip joint. No cases of this type have ever been reported.

The double-kissing (DK) culotte technique is a modification of the culotte technique that employs initial kissing balloon inflation after first stent implantation. The DK culotte technique may improve strut apposition and procedural outcomes; however, data on its efficacy and safety remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the short-term outcomes of bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the DK culotte technique compared with those of the culotte technique in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Objectives: Data about coronary bifurcations treated with ultrathin strut drug-eluting stents (DES) using T-and-protrusion (TAP) technique is limited.
Methods: In this study, a total of 84 consecutive patients, who underwent bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with TAP technique using Orsiro® DES (Biotronik, Berlin, Germany), were included. All pre- and post-procedural data, as well as 1- and 2-year follow-up angiograms, were analyzed.
