Objective: Compare mechanical and pharmacological ripening for patients with oligohydramnios at term.
Study Design: Fifty-two patients with oligohydramnios ⩽ 5 cm and Bishop score ⩽ 6 were randomized for labor induction with a vaginal insert containing 10 mg timed-release dinoprostone (PGE2) or double-balloon catheter. The primary outcome was time from induction to active labor. Time to labor, neonatal outcomes and maternal satisfaction were also compared.
Result: Baseline characteristics were similar. Time from induction to active labor (13 with PGE2 vs 19.5 h with double-balloon catheter; P = 0.243) was comparable, with no differences in cesarean rates (15.4 vs 7.7%; P = 0.668) or neonatal outcomes. The PGE2 group had higher incidence of early device removal (76.9 vs 26.9%; P = 0.0001), mostly because of active labor or non-reassuring fetal heart rate. Fewer PGE2 patients required oxytocin augmentation for labor induction (53.8 vs 84.6% P = 0.034). Time to delivery was significantly shorter with PGE2 (16 vs 20.5 h; P = 0. 045).
Conclusion: Intravaginal PGE2 and double-balloon catheter are comparable methods for cervical ripening in term pregnancies with oligohydramnios.

Recurrent cholangitis due to an intrahepatic calculus caused by migrated coil for vascular embolization: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Department of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Surgery, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine, Toon City, Ehime, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Pseudoaneurysms can occur after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries, and catheter interventions are typically the first step in treatment; however, complications from arterial embolization can arise.
- A case study of a 43-year-old male revealed that a dislodged embolization coil caused bile duct stone formation, leading to recurrent cholangitis after previous treatment for a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm.
- The case highlights the need for clinicians to monitor embolization coil positions in patients and consider coil migration as a potential cause when diagnosing bile duct stones, especially following hepatic artery embolization.
Innovative Use of a Coaxial Double-Balloon Catheter System for Treating Gastric Varices.

Article Synopsis
- A 52-year-old woman with a history of liver surgery developed gastric varices, which posed a risk of rupture.
- A specialized procedure called balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) was attempted using a double-balloon catheter, but initial venography did not visualize the varices.
- Ultimately, the treatment was successful by injecting a sclerosing agent through the catheter system, effectively embolizing the varices and highlighting the method's effectiveness for complex vascular cases.
Comparison of the efficacy and safety of dinoprostone and double-balloon catheters in cervical ripening: a propensity score matching retrospective study.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Affiliated Changzhou Second People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Changzhou, Jiangsu, P.R. China.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness and safety of dinoprostone versus double-balloon catheters (DBC) for cervical ripening in primipara women during labor induction.
- A total of 877 women were split into two groups based on the method used, with the study comparing natural birth rates, time to labor, and complications for both groups.
- Results indicated that dinoprostone led to a better Bishop score and lower rates of puerperal infection compared to DBC, but without a significant difference in overall vaginal delivery success rates.
Comparison of outcomes of labor induction with dinoprostone vaginal insert (PROPESS) and double balloon cook catheter in term nulliparous pregnancies.

Department of Obstetrics, Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan City, P.R. China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compared two methods for inducing labor in first-time mothers: dinoprostone vaginal insert (PROPESS) and double balloon cook catheter (DBC), with a focus on delivery outcomes.
- - Results showed similar overall vaginal delivery rates, but PROPESS had a significantly higher rate of successful vaginal deliveries within 24 hours compared to DBC (55.45% vs. 38.43%).
- - While DBC had a higher occurrence of complications like chorioamnionitis and required more oxytocin for labor augmentation, neonatal outcomes were similar in both groups.
Evaluation of deep remission with through-the-scope catheter-based EUS during double-balloon enteroscopy in small-bowel Crohn's disease.
Gastrointest Endosc

Department of Gastroenterology, First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China.
Background And Aims: Evaluation of deep remission in Crohn's disease (CD) can be challenging when the disease is confined to the small intestine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of through-the-scope EUS during double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE-EUS) in distinguishing small-bowel CD patients in endoscopic remission from those with active disease.
Methods: Patients who underwent DBE-EUS were divided into groups of endoscopic remission and endoscopic activity according to segmental Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD).
