Article Synopsis
  • Stent dislodgement is a rare but difficult complication during heart procedures, and existing treatment methods are not very effective.
  • This study tested a new self-expanding basket (SEB) catheter designed to retrieve dislodged stents without causing additional injury or needing surgery.
  • In a small trial with 6 patients, the SEB catheter successfully retrieved all dislodged stents, with no safety issues reported, indicating it may be a promising solution, but more extensive research is needed.

Coronary angiography revealed two-vessel disease with severe stenosis of the LAD- Diagonal bifurcation (MEDINA 1-1-1). This lesion was considered complex regarding the severe stenosis of the bifurcation core, the angulation <45°, and the severity and length of the diagonal lesion.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the primary choice for managing large renal stones and the establishment of mini-/micro-channels has been increasingly gaining practice. The smaller the channel, the easier it is to be lost, which may require a new puncture site and increase the risk of bleeding complications. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 1,056 PCNL procedures in our single institute, The University of Hong Kong - Shenzhen Hospital, between March 2014 and August 2023.
