Highlight Kamada and colleagues devised a new technique for effective endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation without high balloon pressure. Advantages of the technique include the prevention of unintentional over-pressurization of the balloon by limiting the balloon inflation pressure and reduced risk of pancreatitis due to continuous pancreatic duct obstruction.

Introduction: Management of urethral trauma lacks clarity in the paediatric population. There is no clear guidance for management and follow-up of these patients which can lead to missing the long-term sequelae of the primary injury. Catheter-associated urethral injuries are less likely to cause a complete transaction of the urethra.

Proximal protection devices for carotid artery stenting - A benchtop assessment of flow reversal performance.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology (J.L., E.A.B., C.B., J.C., R.K., W.B., D.F.K), and Department of Neurologic Surgery (Y.C.S., R.K., W.B.), Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, United States; Department of Stroke Research (J.L.), Vall d'Hebron Research Institute, Barcelona, Spain; From the Global Institute of Future Technology (Y.L.), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China; Department of Neurointerventional Radiology (J.C.), Bicetre University Hospital, Le Kremlin Bicetre, France.

Background And Purpose: Proximal protection devices, such as TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR, SilkRoad Medical, Sunnyvale), aim to yield better outcomes in carotid artery stenting (CAS) than distal protection devices by preventing plaque embolization to the brain. However, transfemoral catheters may not fully reverse flow from the external carotid artery (ECA) to the internal carotid artery (ICA). We assess a new balloon-sheath device, Femoral Flow Reversal Access for Carotid Artery Stenting (FFRACAS), for this purpose.

Background: As induction of labor increases in the United States, safe, effective outpatient cervical ripening has been explored as a method to decrease the inpatient time burden. The most effective method of outpatient mechanical cervical ripening remains unclear.

Objective: To evaluate if Dilapan-S is non-inferior to cervical balloon for outpatient cervical ripening (CR) based on change in Bishop score.

Objectives: The Wolverine cutting balloon (CB) (Boston Scientific) is a specialized balloon catheter with microsurgical blades that is used for balloon-resistant lesions. The Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database serves as a repository for reports of medical device complications. The aim of this study was to analyze complications associated with CB use during percutaneous coronary intervention in real-world contemporary practice.

Foley balloons have been used to secure emergency hemostasis for cardiac or vascular injuries since the 1960s. However, using a single large balloon may have drawbacks, such as insufficient hemostasis and blood flow impairment. We have encountered 3 major intraoperative laceration cases since 2011.
