In endovascular therapy (EVT) for femoropopliteal artery (FPA) lesions, studies examining the relationship between lesion morphology and hemodynamic status are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate FPA lesion characteristics, including imaging findings and their cutoff values that can predict hemodynamic significance after balloon angioplasty. This single-center retrospective study enrolled 50 de novo FPA lesions from 43 patients treated under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) usage between June 2022 and March 2023.

Traditionally the double-lumen-tube (DLT) is considered the gold standard for lung separation. Despite being equally feasible for standard situations, there are special populations and circumstances requiring the use of a bronchial blocker (BB) to establish one-lung ventilation. Children under 8 years of age and patients without a patent orotracheal airway necessitate the use of a bronchial blocker in most cases, as well as those requiring selective lobar blockade or a rapid sequence induction.

We report two cases of successful urgent intubation using a Seldinger technique for airway management through an anesthesia facemask, while maintaining ventilation in patients with difficult airways and grossly distorted airway anatomy. In both cases, conventional airway management techniques were predicted to be difficult or impossible, and a high likelihood for a surgical airway was present. This technique was chosen as it allows tracheal tube placement through the nares during spontaneous ventilation with the airway stented open and oxygen delivery with either continuous positive airway pressure and/or pressure support ventilation.

Background: Obese patients are at risk of complications during airway management including difficult tracheal intubation. There are no reports regarding the ease of intubation or efficiency of lung collapse with the use of lung isolation devices for the morbidly obese patient. We conducted a prospective, randomized study in morbidly obese patients undergoing one-lung ventilation.
