Background: Repositioning of dislocated port systems' catheters is usually performed with a pigtail catheter and/or a goose snare. In case of an inaccessible port catheter tip due to thrombosis, this classic approach may be not successful. For these cases, we describe a long loop bailout technique with bifemoral access.

An 85-year-old man received simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and the ascending aorta to bifemoral bypass with a Dacron graft 11 years ago. He suffered from intermittent claudication. Angiography demonstrated a localized stenosis in a non-anastomotic site, straight portion of the graft.

Background: Percutaneous interventions to address chronic coronary occlusions (CTO-PCI) often require simultaneous ipsi- and contralateral coronary injections. Although radial access is increasingly popular, bifemoral artery access is still the preferred choice of CTO operators. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of the unifemoral parallel sheath technique, which avoids two puncture sites, increases patient comfort, and improves procedure ergonomics.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is most commonly performed via the femoral approach. Small caliber ilio-femoral arteries, severe calcification and tortuosity are often prohibitive reasons for TAVI via the femoral approach. Mid-aortic syndrome is a rare condition describing congenital or acquired coarctation of the abdominal aorta.

Even the centres possessing experience in several thousand cases of successful treatment of multifocal atherosclerosis have from time to time been facing non-trivial clinical situations requiring a non-standard decision the recommendations for which could hardly be found in the guidelines available, if at all. This article describes the technique and immediate results of an operation making it possible to simultaneously carry out revascularization of the myocardium and lower limbs in patients diagnosed as having a critical coronary lesion and Leriche syndrome with no intervention on the abdominal portion of the aorta.
