Purpose: A double-J (D-J) stent is usually kept in situ during Anderson-Hynes (A-H) pyeloplasty for pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction. The aim of the study is to determine whether early removal of D-J stent is better than long-term stenting.
Methods: In this prospective comparative study, conducted from January 2018 to April 2019 in Chittagong Medical College Hospital, patients with PUJ obstruction, age less than 12 years, were divided into group A (long-term stenting) and group B (short-term stenting) by simple randomization. Main outcome variables were urinary tract infection (UTI), stent colonization, encrustation, renal cortical thickness, differential renal function (DRF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and flow rate in DTPA renogram.
Results: There were 31 patients in each group. Median age was 5 years (IQR: 2.3 to 7 years) and male to female ratio was 2.1:1. Frequency of post-operative UTI and stent colonization were significantly higher in group A than group B (p < 0.001). All the patients of both groups had similar improvement in renal cortical thickness, DRF, GFR, and flow rate. The study was potentially limited by its small sample size and high median age (5 years).
Conclusion: Early removal of D-J stent had lower incidence of UTI, stent colonization, encrustation, and stent migration.

Outcomes of coronary intravascular lithotripsy for the treatment of calcified nodules: a pooled analysis of the Disrupt CAD studies.
EuroIntervention
December 2024
St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, NY, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is an effective method for stent implantation in severely calcified lesions, specifically those with calcified nodules (CNs).
- In a study of 155 patients, IVL demonstrated similar outcomes in terms of stent area and expansion, regardless of the presence of CNs, even though CNs had higher calcium volume and angle.
- The 2-year rate of target lesion failure was not significantly different between CN and non-CN lesions, suggesting that further research is needed to evaluate different treatment methods for these types of lesions.

Background And Purpose: Rescue stent (RS) is an accepted rescue option after failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS)-related large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, the long-term outcomes (≥ 12 months) of RS have not yet been elucidated.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 154 patients with RS for ICAS-related LVO, which were identified from prospectively maintained multicenter database of RS after MT failure, to assess good outcome (mRS 0-2), mortality, stroke recurrence, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) and stent patency.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography and Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Management of Paediatric Acute Recurrent Pancreatitis and Chronic Pancreatitis.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography) and EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) in children with chronic and acute recurrent pancreatitis, analyzing data from 2008 to 2022.
- A total of 222 ERCP procedures were conducted, showing high technical success (98%), significant improvements in stricture resolution (63%), and a low adverse event rate (3.6%), along with substantial pain relief for 76% of patients.
- Additionally, 54 EUS procedures highlighted low complication rates (2.4%), confirming that both ERCP and EUS are safe and beneficial for paediatric patients, mirroring findings in adults.

Background: Perfusion abnormalities in the infarct and salvaged penumbra have been proposed as a potential reason for poor clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score >2) despite complete angiographic reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [TICI3]). In this study, we aimed to identify different microvascular perfusion patterns and their association with clinical outcomes among TICI3 patients.
Methods: University Hospital Bern's stroke registry of all patients between February 2015 and December 2021.
Demystifying the Contemporary Role of 12-Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- * Recent studies have raised concerns about this 12-month regimen, suggesting adjustments based on patients' bleeding or ischemic risks, arguing some may benefit from shorter or longer durations.
- * Several strategies to modify DAPT practices, such as de-escalating to less potent medications or shortening therapy, have shown to reduce bleeding risks without significantly increasing cardiovascular issues, yet the 12-month recommendation remains unchanged in guidelines.
