Unidirectional endobronchial valves for management of persistent air-leaks. Results of a multicenter study [PDF]
Background: To evaluate the efficacy of Endo-Bronchial Valves in the management of persistent air-leaks (PALs) and the procedural cost. Methods: It was a retrospective multicenter study including consecutive patients with PALs for alveolar pleural ...

This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

Integrating proprioceptive capabilities in balloon‐type robots enhances safe human–machine interactions. Traditional pressure estimates are inadequate due to nonlinear relationships. Instead, embedding stretchable sensors effectively measures deformation. This design optimizes sensor geometry to minimize damage risks.

Double-Balloon Enteroscopy to Remove a Strangulated Enteroclysis Catheter from the Small Bowel
We present the case of a 77-year-old male who was referred for magnetic resonance (MR) enteroclysis because of small bowel subobstruction. To optimise small bowel distention during MR, a nasojejunal balloon catheter was placed to perfuse iso-osmotic ...
