“Intrapericardial Approach” for Venous Outflow Reconstruction in Living‐Donor Liver Transplantation for Budd‐Chiari Syndrome: Surgical Techniques and LongTerm Outcomes

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Unlike deceased‐donor liver transplantation, living‐donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for Budd‐Chiari Syndrome (BCS) presents distinctive challenges in hepatic venous (HV)‐outflow reconstruction because diseased HV–inferior vena cava (IVC) cannot be entirely replaced with healthy donor vessels.

Atherectomy With Multimodal Embolic Protection for Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe calcification in femoropopliteal lesions remains a clinical challenge to achieve both the technical and long‐term success in endovascular therapy. Although atherectomy is an effective treatment for calcified lesions, it is associated with the risk of distal embolization, even with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs), and ...

Feasibility and Safety of the ETcath200 Robotic PCI System for Complex Coronary Lesions: A Prospective Single‐Center Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background International robotic‐assisted PCI platforms such as CorPath 200 and CorPath GRX have demonstrated procedural safety and efficacy but are limited by the absence of real‐time tactile feedback and cumbersome device exchange. The ETcath200, the first domestically developed robotic PCI system in China, introduces guidewire force‐sensing

Excessive Ostial Stent Protrusion: Evaluation of Management Strategies and Clinical Outcomes of the Side Flap Technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Accurate stent positioning in aorto‐ostial lesions remains challenging due to complex three‐dimensional anatomy, lack of optimal fluoroscopic projections, and high rates of geographic miss. Stent overhang impairs guide catheter re‐engagement and complicates future revascularization.
