Purpose: To report the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transfemoral venous recanalization of occluded intrahepatic portosystemic stents (TIPS) in cases where the transjugular approach is not feasible.
Materials And Methods: Between 2000 and 2020, 8 patients with occluded TIPS underwent recanalization via a percutaneous transfemoral venous access. Prior recanalization via a typical transjugular approach was attempted in all cases. Primary technical success was defined as successful crossing of the occlusion. Secondary technical success was defined as the rate of successful TIPS recanalization. Periprocedural complications were evaluated to assess procedural safety.
Results: In 8/8 patients transfemoral venous TIPS recanalization was successful. No procedure-related complications were observed.
Conclusions: The transfemoral venous approach is a safe and efficient alternative for TIPS recanalization in cases where the transjugular approach is not feasible.

December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Kurume University School of Medicine, Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan.
Background: Transradial access (TRA) is not a common vascular access in children. We have been performing TRA actively to reduce puncture complications, and the purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of TRA in young children.
Methods: The study included 29 patients aged 5-12 years who underwent diagnostic catheterization at Kurume University Hospital.

Introduction: There is no prior report of an Aveir leadless pacemaker implantation into the atrial appendage via the internal jugular vein.
Case: A 44-year-old female patient with history of multiple ablations for sinus node dysfunction presented with symptomatic bradycardia. The patient had femoral veins <9mm, chronic pain at the femoral vein insertion sites, as well as a recent car accident with persistent leg pain due to femoral fractures.
Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Premature Contractions Originating From RVOT With Interruption of the Inferior Vena Cava-A Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- - Ventricular premature contractions (VPC) from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are a common type of heart arrhythmia that can be treated through catheter ablation.
- - Interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is an uncommon vascular condition caused by abnormal development before birth.
- - This report details a unique case of VPC from RVOT accompanied by IVC interruption, which was successfully treated using a transfemoral vein approach for ablation.
An Unusual Case of a Stuck Catheter in a Sick Neonate.

Cardiology, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, IND.
The umbilical vein can be reliably used for central venous access in neonates less than 14 days old. The catheter used in the umbilical vein normally extends proximally to the inferior vena cava and can be utilized for drug delivery as well as venous sampling. Herein, we describe a neonate with a broken umbilical vein catheter (UVC) stuck in the right atrium and inferior vena cava (IVC), and its successful, uneventful removal via the transfemoral route.

Background: Interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare developmental defect characterized by azygos continuation following failure of fusion of one or more of the component parts of the embryological IVC. It occurs in approximately one in 5000 of the general population. It is usually an isolated finding and is generally asymptomatic.
