Aim Of Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hydrophilic catheters and guidewires during endovascular overcoming long stenoses or occlusions of the superficial femoral and popliteal artery.
Material And Methods: Based on 142 procedures rated the functionality of the equipment of the hydrophilic coating. The operations were performed in the years 2010-2012 in the Department of Vascular, General and Transplantation, Medical University in Wroclaw. Procedures related to recanalization or enlargement of the superficial femoral artery. Patients were divided into groups according to the Consensus TASC II depending on the length change. Each patient was assessed ankle-brachial ratio (ABI), claudication distance measured and constructed with double ultrasound imaging (USG-DD). In doubtful cases an additional study was performed with contrast computed tomography (angio-CT). The procedure was performed at the Laboratory of angiography using a angiograph Siemens Artis Zee Ceiling. Every time the contrlateral access was made, and as the first step the angiography was performed to verify type of changes in the arteries
Results: . A significant benefit of using hydrophilic guidewires and catheters in patients with long stenoses or occlusions. In case of long and calcified changes, hydrophilic catheters was the only option because it gave good support for hydrophilic guidewire.
Conclusions: The changes in the type C and D according to the criteria for TASC II, an essential tool to achieve a positive treatment effect is the use of hydrophilic catheters and guidewires.

Background: New catheter materials for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) may reduce the risk of device failure due to infectious, thrombotic, and catheter occlusion events. However, data from randomized trials comparing these catheters are lacking.
Methods: We conducted a randomized, controlled, superiority trial in three Australian tertiary hospitals.
Acceptance and the influencing factors towards intermittent self-catheterisation among patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in China: a multicentre cross-sectional study.

Objectives: The psychological acceptance of intermittent self-catheterisation (ISC) significantly impacts its initial adoption and long-term compliance among patients. However, our understanding of this acceptance remains limited. This study aims to investigate ISC's psychological acceptance and identify influencing factors among neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) patients in China.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has been the preferred method since 1991, with new techniques like contralateral gate cannulation being developed to enhance the process.
- A new device called the Taofan and Kang (T&K) bidirectional endovascular aortic repair (B-EVAR) was introduced, utilizing a unique approach to deploy stent grafts through both femoral arteries while ensuring safety and effectiveness.
- In a pilot study involving six patients, the T&K B-EVAR showed promising results with no complications or prolonged hospital stays, indicating it simplifies the AAA repair process and could be beneficial for a wider range of patients.
