To our knowledge, radial artery catheter entrapment during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke using an 8 F neuro guiding catheter (.088 in ID) and successful use of a brachial plexus block has not been described in the literature. In this technical note, we describe a patient that underwent rapid and successful radial access mechanical thrombectomy for an acute right middle cerebral artery occlusion, however, during withdrawal of the Balt Ballast 0.088 inch long sheath (Balt USA, Irvine, CA, USA), radial/brachial artery entrapment was encountered. We describe a modified step-wise approach to previously published online article by Pitta et al. from 2017 SCAI communication in the management of catheter entrapment and describe the technique for ultrasound guided brachial plexus block, which helped avoid need for surgical removal.

Preinduction cervical ripening in previous caesarean pregnancy is limited to intracervical Foley catheter. This study is aimed at finding the vaginal birth rates, improvement of Bishop score, and safety of osmotic dilator (Dilapan-S) among women with previous caesarean pregnancy. We conducted this single-group clinical study after the approval of the institute ethics committee, clinical trial registration, and obtaining informed consent.

Article Synopsis
- - Device entrapment during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a rare but serious issue, particularly with calcified aorta, as shown in a case involving an 86-year-old female patient where a pigtail catheter got stuck.
- - After failed attempts to retrieve the catheter, an innovative solution was implemented by inflating a post-dilation balloon to stabilize the valve while safely extracting the trapped catheter without damage or the need for surgery.
- - The case highlights the need for preventative measures, such as ensuring catheters can move freely and retracting them before fully deploying the valve, to avoid complications in future procedures.
Comparative efficacy, safety, and DMSO compatibility of detachable vs. non-detachable tip microcatheters in neurointerventional procedures: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The evolution of embolic agents necessitates the use of microcatheters compatible with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), with detachable tip microcatheters (DTMs) emerging as a significant innovation aimed at reducing the risk of catheter entrapment in embolization procedures. This study aims to compare the efficacy, safety, and DMSO compatibility of DTMs with non-detachable tip microcatheters (Non-DTMs) in the context of embolization treatments for neurovascular diseases.
Method: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases until February 25, 2024.
New embolization technique for intracranial vascular disease with the assistance of an Apollo microcatheter.

It is difficult to access small and remote intracranial vascular lesions when using routine coil-delivery microcatheters. A thin Apollo microcatheter can access these vascular lesions. The Apollo microcatheter is intended to reduce the risk of catheter entrapment during the deployment of Onyx due to the detachable tip; furthermore, the Apollo microcatheter with a 3 cm detachable tip has 2 markers.
