Article Abstract
Detachable latex balloons, preloaded coaxially in 4-F angiographic catheters, were used in eight patients, aged 6 weeks to 12 years. Successful placement of the balloon was achieved in six patients, in whom the feeding arteries arose in an oblique fashion from the aorta or main conducting arteries. Placement was not possible in two patients. No femoral or axillary arterial occlusions occurred as a result of these procedures. The balloon can be inflated up to 8 mm in diameter, passes readily through a 4-F introducer sheath, and can be retrieved, without detachment from the catheter, through the same sheath. A hemostatic side-arm adapter attached to the catheter permits angiography to be performed before balloon detachment. The disadvantages of the system include preparation time to hand tie the balloons, the operator experience required, and difficulty in navigating the balloon.

The application of binary gas mixtures consisting of heptafluorobutyronitrile (CFN) and carbon dioxide (CO) in AC GIS is currently attracting much attention. Therefore, the evaluation of the gas-solid interface charge distribution characteristics of epoxy resin is indispensable. Additionally, the phase-dependency of the charging behavior remains not fully understood.

Background: It is often hard to navigate a 9 French (F) balloon guiding catheter in patients with type III or bovine aortic arch. Also, a common carotid artery stenosis is challenging, because a guidewire cannot be advanced distally. We developed the combination of a 4F Simmons-type catheter and a 6F distal access catheter as a coaxial inner catheter to navigate a 9F balloon guiding catheter to overcome these difficulties.

Article Synopsis
- - A 63-year-old woman experienced severe abdominal distension due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, despite having undergone previous treatment with renal arterial embolization using microcoils.
- - She received a new treatment involving renal arterial embolization with trisacryl gelatin microspheres, using a micro-balloon catheter without complications.
- - This new procedure successfully reduced the size of her polycystic kidneys and alleviated her symptoms effectively.

Objective The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of using commonly available catheterization laboratory equipment for radiofrequency perforation of the pulmonary valve in patients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum. Methods The system (off-label use for all items) is made up of a co-axial telescopic arrangement consisting of a 0.014" PT 2 ™ coronary guidewire, for insulation inside a 2.

Based on a 4-f system including a spatial light modulator (SLM), two orthogonally polarized beams serving as the base vector components are produced by a computer generated hologram. The complex amplitude of orthogonal components is realized by a macro-pixel encoding technique purposely designed for phase-only SLMs.
