Undeployed stent loss is a rare but potentially serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. Its management is not assisted by well-defined guidelines, and it is made even more difficult when the dislodged stent is not protected by in situ guidewire. In this work, we present the case of a total stent loss with a crushed device protruding out of the left main. In this hopeless circumstance, an innovative ping-pong technique was used to contralaterally perform a successful stent retrieval.

Intraoperative rescue of a dislodged renal stent during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair for treatment of type 1A endoleak.

In the past 15 years, fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (F-BEVAR) has progressively become the first-line option for management of most complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs); with increasing experience, as well as persistent technological refinements, F-BEVAR indications have been expanded to include rescue of failures after prior EVAR. Despite the feasibility and effectiveness, F-BEVAR procedures in the presence of prior infrarenal endografts may come with higher technical complexity that should be properly anticipated, and several anatomical challenges can be expected. Among these, presence of suprarenal bare stents from prior EVAR device are certainly a frequent scenario and may sometimes make target vessel cannulation more difficult because of encroachment on the target vessel origins.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a common treatment for severe aortic stenosis (AS), but it carries the risk of severe complications, including device embolization. We present a case of a TAVR valve embolization into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), diagnosed with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) shortly after device deployment. The dislodged valve was successfully retrieved from the LVOT into the aorta, flattened, and stabilized with a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) stent, enabling the successful implantation of a new TAVR valve.

Purpose: To determine the adverse events (AEs) rate associated with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and identify risk factors for their occurrence.
Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 2310 PTBD (right-side: 1164; left-sided: 966; bilateral: 180) interventions for biliary obstruction (benign/malignant) in 449 patients between 2010-2020. Patients with percutaneous cholecystostomy alone were excluded.

: Esophago-tracheobronchial fistula is a severe and often fatal complication in patients with advanced esophageal cancer, requiring prompt attention. The standard treatment involves the placement of a covered stent, which is relatively simple to perform and effectively seals the fistula. However, stent migration remains a common issue, highlighting the need for improved methods to prevent it.

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can dislodge atherosclerotic debris, risking microvascular embolism. Thrombus aspiration (TA) before stenting in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients has been linked to reduced mortality, lower recurrence of heart attacks, and improved cardiac function. However, limited research exists on the effectiveness of TA in Vietnam, underscoring the need for further studies to enhance cardiovascular care.
