A detailed review and analysis of world literature on the techniques employed for the retrieval of polythene catheter fragments, metal spindles or Pudenz catheters from the heart or large vessels is presented. Non-surgical retrieval techniques are discussed on the basis of 174 cases reported in the literature. 2 personal cases of the retrieval of foreign bodies from the heart using a Deyhle-Seubert catheter are presented.

Endovascular interventions in cancer patients with compromise of the mediastinal vasculature: a review.

The mediastinal vasculature can be affected by various etiologies in cancer patients. Both direct and indirect sequela of cancer may result in life-threatening clinical presentations. Tumor growth may cause vessel narrowing and decreased blood flow from either extrinsic mass effect, invasion into the vascular wall, or tumor thrombus within the lumen.

Selecting an appropriate microcatheter tip shape for paraclinoid aneurysms is difficult. Therefore, we devised an original simple and uniform three-dimensional (3D) spiral-shaping method of microcatheter and validated the characteristics and usefulness of this method for coil embolization of paraclinoid aneurysms using patient-specific silicone models. These silicone models were produced based on clinical data from four patients with four paraclinoid aneurysms that underwent endovascular treatment using the 3D spiral-shaping method.

Background: We aim to share our experience of transradial access (TRA) for cerebral angiography and intervention in five patients ranging from 6 days to 7 months of age.
Methods: In this institutional review board-approved, retrospective case series, we reviewed all patients who underwent TRA for cerebral angiography with and without intervention. We describe three techniques for radial artery cannulation, namely: (1) bareback; (2) with a micropuncture sheath; and (3) with an intravenous catheter.

Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a frequent and potentially serious complication associated with the widespread use of intravascular devices such as central venous catheters, including peripherally inserted central catheters and implantable port systems, pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Although CRT management has been informed by guidelines extrapolated from lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), unique challenges remain due to the distinct anatomical, pathophysiological, and clinical characteristics of upper extremity DVT. Risk factors for CRT are multifactorial, encompassing patient-related characteristics such as cancer, prior venous thromboembolism, and infection, as well as catheter-specific factors like device type, lumens, and insertion site.
