This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the restoration of coronary flow just before stent deployment and the final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) whose initial TIMI flow grade ≤ 1. In primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), initial TMI flow grade ≤ 1 is closely associated with suboptimal final TIMI flow grade. We included 466 STEMI patients with initial TIMI flow grade ≤ 1 and divided into a restored flow group or an unrestored flow group according to the TIMI flow grade just before stent deployment.

Introduction: In an effort to treat patients with malignant hilar obstruction (MHO), both percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary stenting (PTBS) and endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) strategies have been implemented in the clinic, but the relative advantages of these techniques remain to be clarified.
Aim: This meta-analysis was designed to compare the relative clinical efficacy of PTBS and EBS in MHO patients.Material and methods: Relevant studies were identified through searches of the PubMed, Web of science, and Wanfang databases, and pooled analyses of these studies were then performed.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is characterized by intramural hematoma in a coronary artery leading to partial or complete vessel obstruction. A 51-year-old female was hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. She was diagnosed with severe SCAD, affecting the proximal left coronary artery.

Purpose: To assess whether safety profile and treatment success of percutaneous biodegradable biliary stent placement are competitive with traditional treatment options for treatment of benign biliary strictures.
Materials And Methods: PubMed and EMBASE were systematically reviewed for articles reporting percutaneous biodegradable stent placement for treating benign biliary strictures. Databases were searched for articles until December 2023, with the earliest included article dating from April 2016.
