The Go-BACK catheter is a novel device designed to be used for both intraluminal crossing or re-entry, into a vessel lumen from the subintimal space during subintimal angioplasty. It is reserved for cases where reentry has not been possible using conventional wire and catheter techniques. We report our experience in recanalization of the chronic total occlusions of the common iliac artery (CIA) using the Go-BACK catheter, in cases where other techniques were unsuccessful.

Purpose: The aim is to present a case of in situ fenestrated thoracic endovascular repair, using a re-entry peripheral catheter, needing urgent repair due to recurrent episodes of hemoptysis because of an aorto-bronchial fistula after previous thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

Technique: A 74-year-old male with a previous TEVAR presented with hemoptysis, fever, and cachexia. An aorto-bronchial fistula and type Ia endoleak were depicted on computed tomography angiography (CTA).

The management of COVID‐19 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains challenging. This initial experience supports the safety and efficacy of invasive assessment in patients with COVID‐19 and ACS as well as the safety of the procedure for healthcare personnel. The study findings raise the question of whether we should continue to follow “COVID‐19 guidelines” suggesting a more conservative approach to ACS patients with COVID‐19 or rather go back to a more unrestricted use of invasive angiography and revascularization.

Paecilomyces varioti infection is a rare cause of peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We report two patients who developed P varioti peritonitis complicating CAPD. The clinical features and microbiological data of seven other previously reported cases are reviewed.
