Background: To investigate the feasibility, methods and effects of interventional ultrasound in nitinol stent implantation to treat early restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
Methods: From April 2018 to December 2021, 69 patients with early restenosis of AVF received ultrasound-guided nitinol stent implantation (UNSI) and were followed-up. Imaging features of the stent and procedure by ultrasound were observed. The technical success rate, clinical success rate and incidence of complications were recorded and counted. Target lesion primary patency (TLPP), access circuit primary patency (ACPP) and access circuit secondary patency (ACSP) were estimated.
Results: Ultrasonography can show the structure of the stent and guide the stenting process clearly. Both the technical and clinical success rates were 100%. Thirty-one patients had in-stent restenosis (ISR), which was treated by plain balloon (PB) PTA or drug coated balloon (DCB) PTA. The TLPP at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months were 100.0%, 94.2%, 63.4% and 39.6%, respectively. The ACPP at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months were 98.6%, 91.6%, 60.2% and 35.2%, respectively. The ACSP at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months were 98.6%, 98.6%, 95.6% and 93.8%, respectively. The TLPP of ISR after DCB PTA at 3, 6 and 12 months were 100.0%, 100.0% and 93.6%, respectively.
Conclusions: This pilot study indicates ultrasonography can accurately guide nitinol stent implantation in AVF and this technique is a feasible and minimally invasive treatment for early restenosis after PTA with good short- and medium-term patency. DCB PTA may be used to deal with the ISR and is a way to prolong the patency of nitinol stent.

Background: With the rapid expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), TAVR valve explantation is also increasing. Nevertheless, previous reports on Lotus Edge valve explantation are limited to only two reports, none of which include intraoperative videos. Therefore, we report the case of an older adult who underwent a 2-year-old Lotus Edge valve explantation, after developing prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and aortic annular abscess, with a strong indication for a TAVR explantation and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).

Background: This study aimed to investigate initial experiences and outcomes of a retrograde inserted new silicone-covered metallic ureteric stent (Urexel™) for malignant ureteric obstruction.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records for 12 consecutive patients who underwent Urexel™ stent placement for malignant ureteric obstruction from March 2020 to March 2021. The Urexel™ stent is a segmental metallic ureteric stent composed of a nitinol mesh covered with a silicone membrane.

Unlabelled: Data about the long-term safety and efficacy of stent implantation for central venous stenosis in patients on dialysis are limited. We report the case of a 66-year-old man on hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease who presented with stasis dermatitis around an arteriovenous shunt with ulceration of the left forearm. Computed tomography angiography showed a tight stenosis of the proximal left subclavian vein and the development of collateral blood vessels around the stenosis.

A 61-year-old man was referred to our hospital for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection and an emergency operation was planned. In this case, the aberrant left vertebral artery originated directly from the aortic arch. Total arch replacement at the level between the left carotid artery and left aberrant vertebral artery was performed and an open stent graft was deployed in the true lumen of the descending aorta to obtain better distal aortic remodeling.
