Endovascular retrieval of fractured inferior vena cava (IVC) filters after the manufacturer recommended indwelling time can be challenging and require advanced retrieval techniques. We describe an endovascular retrieval technique of a fractured Optease IVC filter in a 57-year-old woman using endobronchial forceps and intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography guidance. Following incomplete filter retrieval, the location and orientation of fractured strut was confirmed by cone-beam computed tomography venography. The embedded filter fragment was then successfully removed using endobronchial forceps via a transjugular venous approach. In the present report, we highlight the additional value of intraoperative cross-sectional imaging, in conjunction with advanced endovascular techniques, for retrieval of challenging IVC filters.

Purpose: Intraprocedural complications during intracranial embolisation include thromboembolic vessel occlusion, catheter tip detachment and coil migration. Stentrievers and aspiration catheters are valuable devices for the management of these complications. We present our experience with the use of these devices.

The objective of this study is to investigate the protein components of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) thrombi using four-dimensional independent data acquisition (4D-DIA) proteomics and reveal the correlations between thrombotic protein components and AIS etiology. From April to September 2023, we enrolled a total of 30 patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy at our institute and were diagnosed in accordance with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA; n = 15) or cardioembolism (CE; n = 15). Thromboembolic material was collected for 4D-DIA proteomic detection.

Ureteral stent migration should be considered a rare complication of urologic procedures. We report a 69-year-old woman diagnosed with ureteral stent migration two weeks after undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy while she was symptom-free. The stent passed through the heart and extended to the superior vena cava and right brachiocephalic vein.

This study is to assess the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke resulting from intracranial atherosclerosis-large vessel occlusion (ICAS-LVO) in comparison to embolic-large vessel occlusion (embolic-LVO). We undertook an extensive search of databases including PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data, and China National Knowledge Internet using a combination of free-text terms and mesh terms as part of our search strategy. Literature screening and data retrieval were conducted following predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between intravenous tirofiban, the number of retrieval attempts and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) in patients with successful EVT.

Patients And Methods: We used the data from the Endovascular Treatment With versus Without Tirofiban for Patients with Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke (RESCUE BT) Trial. The primary outcome was sICH, which was defined according to the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification.
