Trigeminal neuralgia is commonly treated with percutaneous balloon compression due to the high success rate, technical simplicity and cost efficiency.1-3 The procedure carries certain risks, most notably dysesthesias and masseter muscle weakness.4 5 However, more severe complications are rare. In this report, the case of a rare complication of percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia is presented, resulting in a carotid cavernous fistula treated via an endovascular approach.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) is a rare but lethal diagnosis, and an important condition that should be detected and managed imperatively. SAP has been seldom described in the literature, explaining the lack of concrete management guidelines. Herein we present a case study of a 63-year-old man with SAP post a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) done 8 days prior to current presentation.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (PBPV) via antegrade venous-arterial loop in neonates with critical pulmonary stenosis with intact ventricular septum (CPS-IVS). A retrospective case review was conducted. Fifteen neonates with CPS-IVS who underwent PBPV via antegrade venous-arterial loop at the Women and Children's Hospital, Qingdao University between September 2020 and September 2023 were included.

Background: The clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-coated balloons (DCB) for de novo coronary artery lesions with eruptive calcified nodules remain unclear.
Methods And Results: This retrospective study analyzed the long-term outcomes of 308 consecutive patients (389 lesions) treated with PCI using DCB under optical coherence tomography guidance for de novo coronary artery lesions between September 2018 and November 2020. Patients were classified into 2 groups: those with an eruptive calcified nodule in the culprit lesion (CN group) and those without (non-CN group).
Drug-Coated Balloon-Based Treatment of Left Main True Bifurcation Lesion.

Department of Internal Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Gangnam-gu, South Korea.
Background: There is a paucity of data regarding drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in the context of left main (LM) true bifurcation lesions.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DCB-based treatment for unprotected LM true bifurcation lesions.
Methods: A total of 39 patients with LM true bifurcation lesion (Medina: 1,1,1/0,1,1/1,0,1) who were successfully treated with DCB alone or in combination with drug-eluting stent (DES) were retrospectively enrolled into the DCB-based group.
