We report a development of severe haemolysis after complete transcatheter closure of patent arterial duct. Aortography and echocardiography revealed no signs of residual shunt. Haemolysis occurred a day after the implantation. Aortography was performed and the extrusion of coil in aorta was evident. The extruded part of the coil was surgically removed. No signs of haemolysis remained.

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a rescue intervention for hemodynamically unstable patients and prophylactic intraprocedural hemodynamic support in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The prompt initiation of ECMO provides immediate hemodynamic support and allows for the completion of bridging and/or life-saving interventions. However, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the use of extracorporeal support in this area.

Introduction: Pelvic fractures often result in life-threatening bleeding and hemodynamic instability. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has emerged as a promising strategy for patients with severe pelvic fractures, facilitating subsequent hemostatic interventions. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is a well-established procedure for managing pelvic fractures accompanied by hemorrhage.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) constitutes approximately 75-85% of primary liver cancers and is a heavy burden on public health. Many innovative prediction systems have integrated radiomics, artificial intelligence, pathological information, or even genetic information for the stratification and prognosis prediction of patients with HCC. However, these systems still lack practical and clinical applications.

Background: The aim of the study is to assess whether transcatheter rectal arterial chemoembolization (TRACE) with oxaliplatin could increase the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and improve survival outcomes, while minimizing adverse events compared to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) alone.
Methods: Eligible LARC patients who received TRACE with oxaliplatin plus chemoradiotherapy (the NATRACE-CRT group) or preoperative CRT alone (the NA-CRT group) were retrospectively selected from the database of our institution. Pathological results, treatment-related adverse events and survival in the two groups were compared.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the management of aortic stenosis and has become the standard of care across a broad spectrum of patients with aortic stenosis. However, it is still associated with high incidence of conduction abnormalities, particularly new left bundle branch block (LBBB). Management of these patients remains a challenge.
