Background And Objectives: EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) is in widespread use; however, there are few dedicated devices. The B2 route is technically easier than the B3 route for guidewire insertion, dilation, and stenting but if performed with conventional oblique-viewing (OV) EUS, B2 puncture can cause transesophageal puncture and severe adverse events. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of forward-viewing (FV) EUS, which we have developed to improve safety for B2 puncture in EUS-HGS (B2-EUS-HGS).
Patients And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 61 consecutive patients who underwent B2-EUS-HGS with FV between February 2020 and March 2021 at Aichi Cancer Center, Japan. The patients were prospectively enrolled, and clinical data were retrospectively collected for these 61 cases.
Results: The overall technical success rate of EUS-HGS was 98.3% (60/61). The rate of EUS-HGS with FV was 95.0% (58/61) after three cases converted to OV, and that of B2-EUS-HGS with FV was 88.5% (54/61). The early adverse event rate was 6.5% (4/61). There were no instances of transesophageal puncture. Median procedure time was 24 min (range, 8-70), and no patient required cautery dilation.
Conclusions: B2-EUS-HGS can be performed safely using FV, without transesophageal puncture, and supportability of the device is improved as FV is coaxial with the guidewire. FV was efficacious in B2-EUS-HGS, which shows promise for clinical application in the future.

Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare congenital heart defects that are typically managed through interventional closure, traditional surgery, or minimally invasive hybrid closure surgery. However, treating CAFs with complex anatomy, such as tortuous vessels, presents a significant challenge, particularly in young children. We report the case of a 3.

Article Synopsis
- Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a crucial step in electrophysiological procedures, where improper execution can lead to severe complications.
- This study compared TSP performed with fluoroscopy alone versus TEE (transesophageal echocardiography) guidance in 932 patients, revealing a significantly lower risk of pericardial tamponade in the TEE group.
- The findings suggest that using TEE guidance during TSP enhances patient safety and should be considered in EP procedures.

Left atrial veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (LAVA-ECMO) in cardiogenic shock (CS) is a novel mechanical cardiocirculatory support strategy that provides robust cardiocirculatory support and simultaneous left and right atrial venting by way of a multifenestrated transeptal catheter. We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of all patients aged ≥18 years with CS who underwent LAVA-ECMO at a quaternary care institution from 2018 to 2023. Clinical outcomes and prehemodynamics and posthemodynamics were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- An 85-year-old woman with severe mitral regurgitation and a history of heart issues underwent a transcatheter repair procedure but encountered a rare complication: interatrial septum dissection with bleeding into the pericardial space.
- The medical team used an Amplatzer occluder device to address this complication, marking its first application for this issue in this context, and raised concerns about chronic steroid use as a potential risk factor.
- The use of transoesophageal echocardiography was emphasized as crucial for identifying complications, and decisions regarding closure devices should consider individual patient risks versus conservative management options.
