Background: The use of a commercial snare for retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is time-consuming and expensive. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits and complications of a novel modified homemade snare (MHS) for retrograde CTO-PCI.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with CTO who underwent retrograde PCI with guidewire snaring between January 2017 and June 2022 at Beijing Anzhen Hospital.

Intracellular membrane fusion is primarily driven by coupled folding and assembly of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs). SNARE assembly is intrinsically inefficient and must be chaperoned by a family of evolutionarily and structurally conserved Sec1/Munc-18 (SM) proteins. The physiological pathway of the chaperoned SNARE assembly has not been well understood, partly due to the difficulty in dissecting the many intermediates and pathways of SNARE assembly and measure their associated energetics and kinetics.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA 60-year old male with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent a combined procedure of left atrial appendage occlusion and pulmonary vein isolation. However, an acute intraprocedural 24-mm Watchman device dislodgement occurred, and thus a decision for urgent surgery was made. However, it was noted during the surgery that the device had migrated further to the descending aorta, just distal to the left subclavian artery.
