Intragastric balloon placement is a non-invasive treatment for morbid obesity. We report a patient who illustrates incomplete bowel obstruction and pancreatitis following dislodgement of such a balloon. Percutaneous transabdominal puncture of the balloon is an effective method of decompression.

Timing and Outcomes of PCI in Conjunction With TAVR With Balloon-Expandable Valves.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv

Ascension St Vincent Heart Center of Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Background: The optimal timing for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is debatable.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes based on the timing of PCI in stable coronary artery disease patients undergoing TAVR.
Methods: Leveraging the STS/ACC TVT Registry and Medicare Linkage, we analyzed patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing PCI and TAVR between 2015 and 2023 using the SAPIEN 3 balloon-expandable valve platform.

Background: The prevalence of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is high. Treatment of a coronary events (CE) after TAVR can be technically challenging.
Objectives: The authors sought to assess the incidence and prognostic impact of CE after TAVR.
Bioprosthetic valve fracture for transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement: A systematic literature review.
Ann Thorac Surg

Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement presents a viable, minimally invasive approach to replacing degraded bioprosthetic surgical valves. The major drawback of this technique is poor hemodynamics in the form of patient-prosthesis mismatch and high transvalvular gradients. This is commonly attributable to the reduced valvular diameter from the transcatheter heart valve fixed inside the degraded bioprosthesis.

Introduction: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is marked by substantial morbidity and mortality. The two major CS etiologies include heart failure (HF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The utilization trends of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and their clinical outcomes are not well described.

Aortic Center, Hôpital Marie Lannelongue, GHPSJ, Le Plessis-Robinson, France. Electronic address:
Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a comparative pre-clinical evaluation of a new fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair dedicated stent using perfused 3D printed patient anatomies.
Methods: The test setup included a pulsatile pump set to reproduce human haemodynamics, four 3D printed pararenal aneurysms connected to a bench test, and four corresponding fenestrated grafts (Zenith Fenestrated; Cook, Bloomington, IN, USA). Bridging stents were sized based on analysis of patients computed tomography scans and included either four standard covered stents (BeGraft [BG]; Bentley, Hechingen, Germany) or four similar covered stent grafts mounted on a modified balloon to allow stent implantation and flaring in one step (BeFlared [BF]; Bentley).
