Broken catheter fragment in a coronary artery during percutaneous coronary angioplasty is a rare complication. It can result in serious problems as a result of thrombus formation and embolization of broken fragment. We report an unusual complication of a broken balloon catheter during angioplasty, which was successfully retrieved by balloon inflation in guiding catheter technique.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The management of severe PPH remains challenging despite advances in obstetric care. Conventional methods of management with uterotonic agents, surgical techniques, and blood transfusions often fail to provide adequate hemostasis, more so in refractory cases.

Article Synopsis
- A 65-year-old woman with recurrent polychondritis was hospitalized for airway narrowing caused by a fractured metallic stent.
- She underwent a bronchoscopic procedure where the stent was cauterized using Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC) to improve the airway.
- The procedure was successful, with the airway ballooning allowing clear passage through the trachea and main bronchi, and no complications were reported.

We report two case series in which we encountered the difficulties to retrieve disrupted devices during percutaneous coronary intervention and endovascular treatment. The broken devices were successfully and safely retrieved by the "flower technique" that creates multiple cut and slit in the tip of the guiding catheter. This technique can be easily and safely applied in situations where a balloon catheter or stent has been disrupted and device entrapment has occurred, as the technique simply involves manually placing multiple cuts or slits in the tip of the guiding catheter.

Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration is increasingly used as a minimally invasive procedure in clinical settings. It is generally regarded as a safe procedure with high diagnostic accuracy. However, a complication involving a needle fracture that penetrated a nearby artery has not been reported during this procedure.
