When dislodged stents remain on the coronary wire, the wire can be snared outside of the body (presnaring), and the snare loop advanced over the wire into the body to retrieve the stent. Presnaring may be a valuable technique to retrieve dislodged coronary stents when the stent remains on the coronary wire, as demonstrated in the 2 patients described.

Background: Transvenous pacemakers (TVP) and leadless pacemakers (LP) are two reliable permanent modalities for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders. Several observational studies explored the safety and efficacy of the two devices. The aim of this meta-analysis study is to present a comparative analysis of the safety of leadless versus transvenous pacemakers.

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseudoaneurysm formation, and dilatation of the aortic root are well-known post-operative complications associated with vasculitis syndromes, including Takayasu arteritis.

Background: Intracranial multimodal monitoring (iMMM) is increasingly used in neurocritical care, but a lack of standardization hinders its evidence-based development. Here, we devised core outcome sets (COS) and reporting guidelines to harmonize iMMM practices and research.
Methods: An open, decentralized, three-round Delphi consensus study involved experts between December 2023 and June 2024.

Yuebi Plus Banxia Decoction is derived from the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber(Jin Gui Yao Lue) by ZHANG Zhong-jing. With the effects of ventilating lung, discharging heat, descending adverse Qi, and relieving cough and asthma, this prescription is mainly used to treat pulmonary distension caused by phlegm heat obstructing the lungs. Currently, it is commonly used in clinical practice for the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, pulmonary heart disease, and pertussis.

Leadless pacemakers (LPMs) offer an alternative for patients with challenging venous access or device infection history. Management of LPM battery depletion in frail patients presents unique challenges. We present the case of an 81-year-old frail woman with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and complete heart block, previously treated with percutaneous transseptal myocardial ablation and a transvenous pacemaker, who received an LPM after device extraction for infection.
