We present a case of gastric varices (GV) in the fundus treated by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided coil deployment with sclerotherapy. A 46-year-old man with a previous history of fatty liver and obesity presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Contrast computed tomography (CT) showed chronic liver disease, splenomegaly, and GV. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed GV in the fundus. Follow-up EGD 6 months later revealed an increase in GV diameter to over 20 mm. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration appeared difficult due to the small caliber of the gastrorenal shunt observed on contrast CT. We performed EUS-guided coil deployment with sclerotherapy. The coil was deployed using a 19-gauge needle under EUS and fluoroscopic guidance. Next, 5% ethanolamine oleate with contrast medium was injected into GV using a 22-gauge needle. GV was reduced without complications, and no GV growth or hemorrhage was observed during 8 months of follow-up.

Objective: Paravisceral aortic lesions present significant challenges for endovascular treatment. This retrospective analysis of consecutively treated patients from April 2017 to June 2021 aimed to analyse the outcome of primary intra-operative embolisation of aortic complicated pseudoaneurysms and gutter channels during parallel graft (PG) repair of paravisceral symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms.
Methods: Patients with symptomatic pseudoaneurysms of the paravisceral aorta treated with PGs using chimney or periscope configurations were included.

Fixed-point thickness measurement is commonly used in corrosion detection within petrochemical enterprises, but it suffers from low detection efficiency for localized thinning, limitations regarding measurement locations, and high equipment costs due to insulation and cooling layers. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a wireless passive ultrasonic thickness measurement technique based on a pulse compression algorithm. The research methodology encompassed the development of mathematical and circuit models for single coil and wireless energy transmission, the proposal of a three-terminal wireless energy mutual coupling system, and the establishment of a finite element model simulating the ultrasonic body wave thickness measurement and wireless energy transmission system.

Intrasaccular flow disruption has become established for the treatment of wide necked and bifurcation aneurysms. The most successful current devices are the WEB (Microvention) and Contour (Stryker). The Artisse (Medtronic) is a novel intrasaccular device designed to treat a variety of aneurysm morphologies.

In recent years, percutaneous coronary intervention( PCI) has become mainstream for the treatment of coronary artery disease, and complications associated with this procedure are increasing accordingly. Coronary perforation, a complication of PCI, is rare but may lead to cardiac tamponade. Once cardiac tamponade occurs, the mortality rate increases.

Article Synopsis
- The study retrospectively analyzed data from 174 patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms treated with flow-diverter devices between January 2020 and January 2024, focusing on perioperative complications and adverse events.
- Out of the procedures, 16.7% experienced intraoperative issues, with complications in 5.7% of patients and neurological deficits in 2.9%.
- Overall, the flow-diverter devices showed a satisfactory healing rate, with 77.7% of aneurysms achieving successful occlusion based on the O'Kelly-Marotta grading system, but the occurrence of complications remains a concern.
