Introduction: We analysed the efficacy and safety of double-balloon catheter for cervical ripening in women with a previous cesarean section and which were the most important variables associated with an increased risk of repeated cesarean delivery.
Materials And Methods: We designed an observational retrospective study of 418 women with unfavourable cervices (Bishop Score <5), a prior cesarean delivery, and induction of labour with a double-balloon catheter. Baseline maternal data and perinatal outcomes were recorded for a descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Most women improved their initial Bishop Score (89.5%) although only a 20.8% of them went into spontaneous active labour. Finally, 51.4% of the women achieved a vaginal delivery. Five cases of intrapartum uterine rupture (1.2%) occurred. After multivariate analysis, main risk factors for repeated cesarean section were dystocia in the previous pregnancy (OR 1.744; CI 95% 1.066-2.846), the absence of previous vaginal delivery (OR 2.590; CI 95% 1.066-6.290), suspected fetal macrosomia (OR 2.410; CI 95% 0.959-6.054), and duration of oxytocin induction period (OR 1.005; CI 95% 1.004-1.006). The area under the curve was 0.789 (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Double-balloon catheter seems to be safe and effective for cervical ripening in women with a previous cesarean delivery and unfavourable cervix. In our study, most women could have a vaginal delivery in spite of their risk factors for cesarean delivery. A multivariate model based on some clinical variables has moderate predictive value for intrapartum cesarean section.

Rationale: Pseudoaneurysm is a potential postoperative complication in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with catheter-based interventions being the first-line treatment. This study reviews the literature on potential secondary complications following arterial embolization. Additionally, we report a case in which a dislodged embolization coil acted as a nidus for bile duct stone formation, leading to recurrent cholangitis.

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.

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.

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.

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).
