Article Abstract
A high-flow steerable microcatheter has been reported to be useful as a triaxial system. Moreover, the benefits of steerable microcatheters in acute-angle bifurcation vessel insertions and a compact coil-packing technique using intentional folding with a bendable catheter tip have been reported. However, research on the usefulness of a high-flow steerable catheter and 0.025-inch guidewire combination (steerable-wire) technique is lacking. Herein, we report a case of balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) via the femoral venous approach to illustrate the usefulness of the steerable-wire technique. The steerable-wire technique facilitates the selection of the wire into the target vessel. The steerable-wire can be used instead of the 0.035-inch guidewire, which is versatile as other devices can follow the steerable wire.

A new bone-cutting approach for minimally invasive surgery.

Aims: Resection of bone is performed in over 75% of all orthopaedic procedures and the electrically powered oscillating saw is commonly used to cut bone. Drawbacks are relatively large incisions and tissue damage due to overshooting often occur. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop an improved bone-cutting system that has minimally invasive characteristics.

Introduction: Whereas a retrograde attempt to insert an indwelling stent is performed in lithotomy position, usually renal access is gained in a prone position. To overcome the time loss of patient repositioning, a renal puncture can be performed in a modified lithotomy position with torqued truncus and slightly elevated flank. There is a two-fold advantage of this position: transurethral and transrenal access can be obtained using a combined approach.

Background And Purpose: Fear of distal embolization and stroke has aroused concern regarding carotid stenting. Devices to protect the cerebral circulation may make carotid stenting safer.
Methods: A multidisciplinary study group tested a balloon occlusion-aspiration emboli entrapment device in conjunction with carotid stenting.
