Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

Malpositioning of Central Venous Catheter : Two Case Reports

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2008
Malpositioning of central venous catheter inserted into subclavian vein is a known and dreaded complication. Malpositioning of catheter tip into contralateral subclavian is an extremely unusual occurrence.

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters as Potential Risk Factors for Failure in Pedicled Latissimus Dorsi Flaps

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2019
Summary:. Pedicled latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps are reliable options for reconstruction of torso and head and neck defects. After ensuring that no kink or external compression occurs on the pedicle, the survival rate exceeds 99%.

Regional gas exchange evaluation during ex vivo lung perfusion in a swine model of localized lung dysfunction

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows the evaluation of lungs that do not meet standard transplantation criteria. Current procedures do not permit the identification of regional functional deficits. We investigated the feasibility of assessing lobar gas exchange during EVLP in a swine model.

A novel rat model of pulmonary artery embolism and the application value of lung ultrasound B‐lines in early‐stage pulmonary embolism

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We report a novel embolus‐induced PE rat model prepared via the inferior vena cava under ultrasound guidance. The embolus employed featured a tubular plastic casing filled with thrombus. By minimizing the contact surface between plasmin and thrombus, it effectively restrains the elevated plasmin activity in rats.

A Comparison of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Materials

New England Journal of Medicine
New catheter materials for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) may reduce the risk of device failure due to infectious, thrombotic, and catheter occlusion events. However, data from randomized trials comparing these catheters are lacking.We conducted a randomized, controlled, superiority trial in three Australian tertiary hospitals.

Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Validation of the European Society of Cardiology Ischemic and Bleeding Risk Criteria for Risk Stratification After Endovascular Therapy in Japanese Patients With Lower Extremity Artery Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for peripheral artery disease recommend antithrombotic strategies based on high ischemic risk (HIR) and high bleeding risk (HBR) criteria. However, their prognostic value in patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) remains unclear ...
