Retrograde intubation is an historic technique that is now rarely used in difficult airway situations. Although not originally designed for this purpose, the use of an S-guide is a feasible option to aid retrograde intubation because of its malleable rigid body and atraumatic tip.

Objectives: The thoracic branch endoprosthesis (TBE®, WL Gore, Flagstaff AZ) offers an off-the-shelf single option for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of aortic arch pathology with sealing in zones 0-2. This study reports the early outcomes of TBE®-TEVAR for acute indications.
Methods: Clinical data, imaging, and outcomes of patients treated with TBE®-TEVAR at seven institutions were retrospectively reviewed (March 2017- March 2024).

Background: Advancing the retrograde microcatheter (MC) into the antegrade guide catheter during retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be challenging or impossible, preventing guidewire externalization.
Objectives: To detail and evaluate all the techniques focused on wiring to achieve intubation of the distal tip of a microcatheter, balloon, or stent with an antegrade or retrograde guidewire, aiming to reduce complications by minimizing tension on fragile collaterals during externalization and enabling rapid antegrade conversion in various clinical scenarios.
Methods: We describe the two main techniques, tip-in and rendezvous, and their derivatives such a facilitated tip-in, manual MC-tip modification, tip-in the balloon, tip-in the stent, deep dive rendezvous, catch-it and antegrade microcatheter probing.

<b>Introduction:</b> Choledocholithiasis (CCL) is one of the most common serious health consequences of cholelithiasis. For years, evacuation of stones using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been the first-line treatment. In 10-15% of cases, gallstones cannot be removed using the above-mentioned method and auxiliary methods are necessary; these are so-called difficult gallstones.

Background And Aims: Chronic appendicitis is a condition with chronic abdominal pain or mild attacks of appendicitis, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life. Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) has emerged as a promising, non-invasive treatment for acute uncomplicated appendicitis. Here, we aim to assess the safety and efficacy of ERAT for chronic fecalith appendicitis.

Article Synopsis
- A 72-year-old woman with pre-existing health issues underwent an ERCP to remove bile duct stones but faced complications including abdominal pain and jaundice post-surgery.
- During the ERCP, she experienced a drop in oxygen saturation and arrhythmia, leading to a diagnosis of gas embolism confirmed by imaging, revealing air bubbles in her heart.
- Despite several emergency interventions, her condition worsened, and due to financial constraints, she was discharged against medical advice, highlighting the rarity and management difficulties of ERCP-related air embolism.
