Sodium tetradecyl sulfate (Sotradecol), which has been employed for sclerotherapy of varicose veins, was evaluated in dogs and humans as an agent for selective arterial embolization. In dogs, intraarterial injection of Sotradecol 3% into the proximally occluded renal, hepatic, splenic, and deep femoral arteries produced arterial occlusion and tissue destruction. Transcatheter embolization with Sotradecol was performed in 11 patients and was successful in 10; in the remaining patient, failure was attributed to rapid dilution by unobstructed blood flow in arteriovenous malformations of the neck. The authors conclude that Sotradecol is a safe and efficient agent for selective arterial embolization.

Evaluate patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) morphology changes in the preterm neonate undergoing transcatheter PDA closure (TCPC). We propose the type F ductus is associated with lower corrected gestational age (CGA) and improved TCPC outcomes. Retrospective review of premature neonates undergoing TCPC at a large volume institution from November 2020 to November 2023.

Systemic-to-pulmonary collaterals (SPCs) are common in congenital heart disease (CHD). Particularly in single ventricle anatomy and Fontan circulation, SPC can both complicate the postoperative course and lead to clinical deterioration in the long term. The treatment of SPC is controversial.

Transcatheter atrial septal defect closure is a prevalent minimally invasive treatment option but still has cerebrovascular accident (CVA) risk. An unusual thromboembolic CVA cause is device-related mechanical atrial injury. We describe the case of a patient with prior transcatheter atrial septal defect closure who had ongoing CVA despite anticoagulation.

The cGAS-STING pathway is pivotal in initiating antitumor immunity. However, tumor metabolism, particularly glycolysis, negatively regulates the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway. Herein, Mn galvanic cells (MnG) are prepared via liquid-phase exfoliation and in situ galvanic replacement to modulate tumor metabolism, thereby enhancing cGAS-STING activation for bidirectional synergistic H-immunotherapy.
