Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of percutaneous transvenous retrieval of intravascular fractured catheter and to evaluate the possible reasons and final results in cancer patients.
Methods: A dataset of 19 patients was used. Percutaneous transvenous retrieval of intravascular fractured catheter was performed in each patients. Clinical data was retrospectively analyzed with respect to the efficacy, safety and outcome, and chest radiography was performed to verify that no catheter fragments were left.
Results: Two cases had peripherally inserted central catheter and 17 had subcutaneous implanted port catheter. The catheter fragments were located in the brachiocephalic vein-superior vena cava (n = 1), superior vena cava (n = 1), superior and inferior vena cava (n = 1), superior vena cava-right atrium (n = 2), brachiocephalic vein-superior vena cava-right atrium (n = 1), superior vena cava-right atrium-right ventricle (n = 6), brachiocephalic vein-superior vena cava-right atrium and right ventricle (n = 1) and pulmonary artery (n = 6), respectively. All of these catheter fragments were retrieved successfully. No complications such as bleeding and thrombosis were found.
Conclusion: Percutaneous transvenous retrieval is a safe, minimally invasive and relatively simple procedure for the patients with fractured catheter and should be recommended as the first choice.

India, owing to its population structure, faces an enormous burden of children born with congenital heart disease (CHD). Systematic challenges such as limited public health infrastructure, a shortage of trained specialists, and high out-of-pocket expenditures hinder uniform access to comprehensive CHD care. Despite these limitations, Indian pediatric cardiologists have delivered innovative and often cost-effective solutions to challenging clinical problems.

Leadless pacemakers (LPMs) offer an alternative for patients with challenging venous access or device infection history. Management of LPM battery depletion in frail patients presents unique challenges. We present the case of an 81-year-old frail woman with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and complete heart block, previously treated with percutaneous transseptal myocardial ablation and a transvenous pacemaker, who received an LPM after device extraction for infection.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a prevalent and curable secondary hypertensive disorder that accounts for 5-13% of all hypertension cases. The prevalence of resistant hypertension, cerebral and cardiovascular diseases, and renal complications is higher in PA patients than in those with essential hypertension. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment at an early stage may suppress cerebral and cardiovascular events.

Article Synopsis
- Interventions for heart conditions using transcatheter techniques can sometimes create an unintended atrial septal defect (IASD), leading to uncertain clinical outcomes.
- An 84-year-old female with heart failure and mitral regurgitation underwent TEER treatment, which resulted in both mitral stenosis and an increasing IASD, negatively affecting her cardiac output.
- Successfully closing the IASD improved her blood pressure and overall condition, suggesting that IASD closure may be beneficial for certain patients after such heart interventions, but careful assessment is necessary.
