Rationale: The misplacement of central venous catheter (CVC) can occur more often at the left jugular vein than the right side due to anatomic differences. And many of the previously reported cases are about catheter misplacement resulting from vessel penetration associated with guidewire. This case differs that the catheter itself through the sheath introducer can cause venous injury that may lead to the malposition of CVC particularly through an approach to the left internal jugular vein.
Patient Concerns, Diagnosis, Interventions, And Outcomes: We cannulated a large-bore CVC with a sheath introducer, namely mult-lumen access catheter (MAC) in the left jugular vein of patient under anesthesia using ultrasound and inserted the additional central venous oximetry catheter through the sheath introducer of MAC and confirmed aspiration of blood. However, the postoperative imaging study revealed malposition of the tip of the oximetry catheter in the mediastinum.
Main Lesson: The insertion of additional catheter through the sheath introducer needs to be carried out as carefully as the insertion of guidewire and should be confirmed with imaging study after the procedure.

Introduction: ProGlide is a suture-mediated vascular closure device (VCD) indicated for retrograde access closure at the common femoral artery (CFA). However, its off-label use for antegrade and/or superficial femoral artery (SFA) access has become common in many practices. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ProGlide for femoral artery access closure in patients undergoing antegrade infrainguinal endovascular procedures.

Background: The Magenta Elevate is a 9-F, self-expanding, catheter-mounted pump delivered sheathed through a commercially available 10-F femoral introducer over the wire to the left ventricle (LV), providing temporary hemodynamic support up to an equivalent of normal cardiac output.
Objectives: The authors sought to assess the feasibility and outcomes of Elevate-supported high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) in a first-in-human study and study the hemodynamic impact of high-output support during prolonged interventional left main coronary artery (LM) occlusions.
Methods: In this study, 14 patients underwent Elevate-supported HR-PCI, with 8 patients undergoing 20 prolonged (39 ± 16 seconds) balloon occlusions of an unprotected LM.

Background: Although brachial access (BA) has become increasingly used in percutaneous endovascular procedures, results from head-to-head comparisons between open brachial access (OBA) and ultrasound-guided percutaneous brachial access (PBA) are limited in the literature. The objective of our multicenter, prospective, noninterventional ARCHIv BrachiAL study was to compare the safety and efficacy of OBA and PBA to perform peripheral arterial interventions.
Methods: From July 2019 to January 2021, all patients needing peripheral endovascular procedures with brachial artery access were consecutively included in the study by 15 surgeons in 14 centers.

Aorto-pulmonary window (APW) is a rare congenital heart disease. The non-restrictive types of APWs present at an early age and require early surgical correction. The transcatheter device closure in young infants pose significant challenges that include hemodynamic instability during arteriovenous loop formation and due to potential encroachment of the occlusive device on vital adjacent structures, and sizing of introducer sheaths and delivery systems.

Purpose: Distal transradial access through the anatomical snuffbox has been highlighted in recent research because it provides extremely low invasiveness. It has demonstrated its feasibility and safety for cardiac intervention. However, its characteristics for noncardiac intervention are not well known.
