Pulmonary vein anatomical variations are frequently observed in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing catheter ablation. However, when it comes to patients with atrial fibrillation and bilateral common ostium in the inferior pulmonary veins, using a bilateral circumferential pulmonary vein isolation approach during catheter ablation heightens the risk of esophageal injury. At present, there is no established standard catheter ablation strategy for such cases.

Introduction: There is a risk of iatrogenic vascular injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of diaphragmatic endometriosis. Although studies are limited, the first reported case of a suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during robotic diaphragmatic endometriosis excision was successfully treated using a fibrin sealant patch, preventing exsanguination and conversion to laparotomy.
Case Description: A 36-year-old female with a history of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and two prior video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries to treat diaphragmatic endometriosis presented to our clinic with right-sided shoulder pain and a chest tube in place.
Atopic dermatitis (AD), a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder is characterized by a complex pathology with skin-barrier abnormalities, immune dysregulation, and microbial dysbiosis. Patients' quality of life is often negatively impacted by persistent pruritus, sleep disturbance, and recurrent skin infections. In addition, patients may have comorbid atopic as well as nonatopic diseases.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive technique for visualization of the peritoneal cavity without creating large abdominal incisions. It has changed the treatment of abdominal pain in both emergency and elective settings. Many patients undergo exploration according to the conventional investigation; many are treated conservatively and discharged.

Purpose: This study investigated the long-term efficacy of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate-metacryloxysulpholane (NBCA-MS) for varicocele embolization (VE) without using a microcatheter.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on male patients who underwent VE with NBCA-MS for grade III-IV varicocele between January 2016 and December 2022. Patients were categorized by the catheter type used.
