Infant femoral arterial access is an essential part of interventional procedures, hemodynamic monitoring, and support of critically ill patients. Due to small luminal diameter, superficial location, mobility, and increased risk of vasospasm, dissection, and thrombosis, femoral artery access in the infant is a technically demanding procedure. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe an approach to successful common femoral arterial access and arteriography in infants including common pearls and pitfalls.

Background: Anatomic considerations of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have an important role for the procedure planning, but sex-specific data are lacking.
Methods: All eligible cases undergoing evaluation for TAVI procedure in the period from November 2019 to July 2023 at the University Hospital of Split were included. Cardiac computed tomography was analysed to derive the measures of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), aortic root, ascending aorta, and ilio-femoral arteries.

Background: Epidemiological studies reported associations between ozone (O) exposure and cardiovascular diseases, yet the biological mechanisms remain underexplored. Hypoxia is a shared pathogenesis of O-associated diseases; therefore, we hypothesized that O exposure may induce changes in hypoxia-related markers, leading to adverse cardiovascular effects.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate associations of short-term O exposure with hypoxic biomarkers and arterial stiffness.

Background And Purpose: Proximal protection devices, such as TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR, SilkRoad Medical, Sunnyvale), aim to yield better outcomes in carotid artery stenting (CAS) than distal protection devices by preventing plaque embolization to the brain. However, transfemoral catheters may not fully reverse flow from the external carotid artery (ECA) to the internal carotid artery (ICA). We assess a new balloon-sheath device, Femoral Flow Reversal Access for Carotid Artery Stenting (FFRACAS), for this purpose.

The hydrogel adhesives with strong tissue adhesion and biological characteristics adhm202404447are urgently needed for injury sealing and tissue repair. However, the negative correlation between tissue adhesion and the mechanical strength poses a challenge for their practical application. Herein, a bio-inspired cohesive enhancement strategy is developed to prepare the hydrogel adhesive with simultaneously enhanced mechanical strength and tissue adhesion.
