Background: The surprising increase observed in recent years in the use of minimally invasive sacroiliac joint arthrodesis techniques as a treatment for low back pain justifies an objective review of this results.
Purpose: carry out a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the clinical results of patients with low back pain treated with percutaneous arthrodesis of the SIJ.
Study Design: Systematic review.

Aim: To evaluate the safety of brachial artery (BA) sheath removal after heparin neutralization with a half dose of protamine immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: The clinical data of 209 consecutive patients who underwent PCI through the BA at Fu Wai Hospital between September 2019 and June 2024 were retrospectively collected. In group I, the brachial sheath was removed 4 h after the PCI procedure.

Introduction: Proximal humerus fractures are a common orthopedic challenge, particularly in older adults. Percutaneous pinning, a minimally invasive technique, aims to stabilize fractures while preserving soft tissue integrity. This study evaluates the functional and radiological outcomes of patients treated with percutaneous pinning at a single center over five years.

Introduction: Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has emerged as a crucial component of critical care medicine, mainly as a lifesaving intervention for patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest and respiratory failure.
Background: In the past, VA-ECMO decannulation was surgical and often associated with a high rate of periprocedural complications, such as surgical site infection, bleeding, and patient mobilization costs. To reduce the rate of these adverse events, many percutaneous techniques utilizing suture-mediated closing devices have been adopted.
