Although tracheobronchial stents are widely used for tracheal obstruction due to malignant or benign stenosis, stent migration has been reported as a major postoperative complication. A self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) is more easily introduced compared with silicone stents. However, it is also difficult to remove or replace without complications. We report a new technique for successful SEMS adjustment using a flexible bronchoscope with two biopsy forceps.

Bronchopleural Fistula (BPF) represents one of the gravest complications post-lobectomy. Present treatment strategies encompass a wide array of surgical techniques complemented by essential adjunct therapies. Despite numerous treatment modalities, mortality rates associated with BPF remain disconcertingly high.

Aim This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) check and revision procedures performed in a freestanding interventional radiology (IR) outpatient facility. Methodology A total of 40 patients (male 31:female 9, median age 60 years old) underwent a TIPS check and/or revision at a freestanding IR outpatient facility between 2009 and 2017. Procedures were performed using a mobile C-arm unit under intravenous (IV) moderate sedation, with the patient discharged home on the same day.

Purpose: To determine the adverse events (AEs) rate associated with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and identify risk factors for their occurrence.
Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 2310 PTBD (right-side: 1164; left-sided: 966; bilateral: 180) interventions for biliary obstruction (benign/malignant) in 449 patients between 2010-2020. Patients with percutaneous cholecystostomy alone were excluded.
Midterm Results of the STABILISE Technique in the Treatment of Aortic Dissection.

Baylor Scott and White Heart and Vascular Hospital, Dallas, TX, USA.
: Contemporary treatments of acute aortic dissection, including medical, surgical, and endovascular options, are remarkably effective at the management of malperfusion and rupture. Unfortunately, long-term studies indicate that 30%-50% of patients need secondary procedures to treat progressive aneurysmal enlargement of the untreated aorta. The Stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair (STABILISE) technique was introduced to improve long-term outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The aim of the study was to create a reproducible animal model of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) using a self-expanding nickel-titanium stent.
- The experiment involved 10 pigs, 7 in the experimental group undergoing TR induction through stent implantation, while 3 served as controls without the stent.
- Results showed significant changes in cardiac structure and function in the experimental group, indicating successful model establishment with no fatalities, making this approach effective for further research on right ventricular issues.
