Background: Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) represents a novel approach in the management of coronary calcification. This technique employs acoustic pressure waves, generated by a shockwave balloon, to effectively fracture both superficial and deep calcification in situ. The efficacy and safety of IVL have been convincingly demonstrated through the Disrupt CAD I-IV studies.

Background: Juxta-anastomotic stenosis, the most common lesion in arteriovenous fistula, creates a dilemma for optimal balloon size choosing during PTA.
Objectives: To descript the effect of a novel tapered scoring balloon catheter (DK Medtech, Suzhou, China) which has a conical shape with an increasing diameter from the front part of the balloon to the end, and three non-slip elements attached on the surface of the balloon.
Research Design: Case series of 10 patients used this balloon catheter was retrospectively analyzed.

Endoscopic balloon sphincteroplasty is an established procedure for the extraction of bile duct stones. However, the balloon often slips during the inflation process, and its length is an impediment if the distance between the papilla and scope is limited and/or the stone is located close to the papilla. This animal experimental study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel short non-slip banded balloon measuring 15-20 mm in length for sphincteroplasty.
