Introduction: Endourological intervention is a minimally invasive approach for the management of ureteral strictures. Contraindications to this approach include active infection, strictures of sizes >2 cm, and failure of endoureterotomy. This report demonstrates a case of successful dual stent placement after redo endoureterotomy.
Case Presentation: A recurring ureteral stricture in a 69-year-old woman, who had undergone ureteroscopic lithotripsy for a right ureteral calculus 60 months earlier, was successfully managed by redo endoureterotomy. The procedure involved insertion of dual ureteral stents after endoluminal incision and balloon dilation. Ureteral stents were removed 8 weeks after the operation. No significant complications or signs of stricture were observed 42 months after endoscopic repair.
Conclusion: This minimally invasive and effective technique of dual ureteral stent placement following laser endoureterotomy successfully managed the recalcitrant ureteral stricture in a case with failed single stent placement following endoureterotomy.

Background: Despite multiple techniques, portal vein (PV) inflow reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for patients with biliary atresia (BA) and small-diameter PV remains a challenge. The use of PV interposition grafts has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate complications and reinterventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-center cohort study of patients under 3 years of age (n=85) undergoing LDLT for biliary atresia using PV interposition grafts.

Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis in a Very Elderly Patient With a History of Inferior Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.

Department of Cardiology, National Hospital Organization Hiroshima-Nishi Medical Center, Otake, JPN.
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) involves the buildup of transthyretin protein in the heart muscle in the form of amyloid fibrils, which can affect heart structure and function. Common ECG findings of ATTR-CA include low QRS voltage and a pseudo-myocardial infarction (MI) pattern, defined as pathological Q waves or QS complexes in two consecutive leads without a history of MI or echocardiographic evidence of akinetic areas. Here, we present a case of ATTR-CA in a very elderly patient, in whom pathological Q waves on ECG were true indicators of a prior inferior MI.
