Objective: To determine whether early catheter removal after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) leads to early hospital discharge with no increase in complications.
Patients And Methods: From October 1992 50 consecutive patients undergoing TURP in each of two hospitals were catheterized for < 24 h or > 36-48 h after the operation. Patients were followed up to assess the frequency and extent of post-operative complications.
Results: The two groups, which were standardized as far as possible, had a similar outcome whether the catheter was removed within 24 h or > 36 h after TURP.
Conclusion: Brief catheter drainage after TURP is safe and allows an earlier discharge from hospital than the standard duration of catheterization.

Unlabelled: Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis is a rare complication following PV isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation. Despite the benefit of early intervention, screening is not conducted, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion. Standardized management approaches are unavailable for this serious complication.

Background: Branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis must be addressed early to prevent right ventricular scarring and establish lung blood flow. Balloon-mounted stents are more useful in managing right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction and PA stenosis.
Materials And Methods: We studied the clinical and angiographic data of children with congenital heart disease who underwent stenting for RVOT obstruction and branch PA stenosis using the Formula stent (Cook Medical, Limerick, Ireland) between 2018 and 2024 in a tertiary pediatric cardiac center in southern India.

Background: The current gold-standard for detecting vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). However, VCUGs require ionizing radiation and bladder catheterization that can be challenging to perform and traumatic for pediatric patients and their parents.
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a novel urinary catheter-free modality for diagnosing VUR using in vitro and ex vivo models.

Artificial intelligence and robotics are transforming interventional radiology, driven by advancements in computer vision, robotics and procedural automation. Historically focused on diagnostics, AI now also enhances procedural capabilities in IR, enabling future robotic systems to handle complex tasks such as catheter manipulation or needle placement with increasing precision and reliability. Early robotic systems in IR demonstrated improved accuracy in both vascular and percutaneous interventions, though none were equipped with automatic decision-making.

Background: Preterm infants are at risk for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis. Optimal strategies of preterm feeding to achieve full enteral feeding early with minimal duration of central lines without increasing the risk of NEC remain uncertain. We aimed to evaluate if new enteral feeding strategies reflecting early initiation, fortification, and more rapid advancement is beneficial without increasing the risk of NEC.
