We report the successful re-screwing of the embolized duct occluder (DO) in three children for retrieval and to attempt redeployment. The DO was embolized into descending aorta immediately after the deployment in one child and within 24 h after the procedure in two further patients. The DO was re-screwed back by the DO delivery cable, using "sheath in sheath" in all three cases; however, successful retrieval could be done only in two. Repositioning in the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was done using the same device in those two children and surgical removal was needed in third child with perimembranous ventricular septal defect.

"Biliary-cast syndrome" ("BCS") is most often encountered in clinical practice as a complication after liver transplantation, there are also described cases of biliary-cast syndrome in patients who did not undergo liver transplantation, isolated cases of "BCS" developing in patients with acute pancreatitis, choledocholithiasis are described in literature. Ischemic damage to bile duct epithelium with development of cholestasis and retrograde biliary tract infection are considered as the main etiological factors. This work presents a clinical case of "Biliary-cast syndrome" in a patient with acute biliary pancreatitis and pulmonary embolism.

Background: Surgical clip migration is a rare complication that can happen many years following a successful cholecystectomy. It has a similar clinical presentation as choledocholithiasis. The diagnosis is usually made using imaging modalities such as ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT) scans, or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting beads transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(DEB-TACE) combined with systemic chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Methods: This study used retrospective cohort analysis to collect the clinical data of 209 patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma treated in Linyi Cancer Hospital, Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University, Affiliated Central Hospital of Dalian University of Technology from January 2020 to January 2024. The patients were divided into observation group and control group based on their treatment plans.

Background: Chylopericardium is a rare disease resulting from lymphatic system dysfunction and characterized by recurrent chylous pericardial effusion and cardiac compression. Traditional treatments like fasting, somatostatin injection and ligation of pericardial lymphatic vessels are less effective, with high recurrence rate. Fenestration is regarded as the last resort for treating chylopericardium.

To evaluate the feasibility of liver tract embolization after transhepatic biliary drainage using a biodegradable polymer plug (IMPEDE-FX, Shape Memorial Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA).In a retrospective observational study, 15 plug embolizations were performed in 13 patients at risk for tract-related adverse events (AEs). Risk factors included coagulopathy, cirrhosis, central bile duct puncture, previous drain-related bleeding, malignant obstruction, large tract diameter, or multilevel strictures.
