Summary: This study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of the US-guided bedside trocar vs. the Seldinger technique for percutaneous cholecystostomy. The results showed similar technical success rates and complication rates between the two groups, but the trocar group had shorter procedure duration and less post-procedure pain. Therefore, the US-guided bedside trocar technique is equally safe and effective as the Seldinger technique for percutaneous cholecystostomy, while being faster and simpler to perform and leading to reduced post-procedure pain.

Summary: Placement of central venous catheters (CVC) into the internal jugular vein is a routine intervention, but carries a significant risk of complications. This study found that the average Seldinger needle length currently used is too long, increasing the risk of injury. Shorter needles are sufficient to reach the internal jugular vein and minimize the risk of severe injury to nearby structures.

Summary: Cerebral arteries are usually tortuous, and in stenting treatment for cerebrovascular diseases, collapse of the stent at one end may lead to reduced blood flow, requiring immediate rescue measures to prevent severe ischemic events. Deployment of a supporting balloon-expandable Apollo stent within the stent lumen can prevent stent collapse, ensuring unobstructed blood flow in follow-up digital subtraction angiography.

Summary: After unintentional insertion of a guidewire into the pancreatic duct during ERCP, utilizing the early double-guidewire (EDG) technique significantly increased the success rate of biliary cannulation within 10 minutes, reduced the time to cannulation, and did not increase the risk of mild PEP.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of the double guidewire technique for endoscopic ultrasonography-guided hepaticogastrostomy. The results showed that the double guidewire group had higher technical and clinical success rates compared to the single guidewire group, with a lower incidence of adverse events.

Summary: Neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage remains a significant source of morbidity in premature and low-weight patients, with approximately 15% of patients who require cerebrospinal fluid shunting developing trapped fourth ventricle. The study describes a technique utilizing the Seldinger technique with image-guided endoscopy for direct visualization of catheter placement, which is suitable for cases where a fourth ventricular catheter or a difficult trajectory catheter is needed during endoscopic fenestration.

Summary: A novel, technically simple cephalic venous catheterization technique provides high success rates for any CIED lead implantation, with a suitable cephalic vein present in 83% of patients and lead placement exclusively via the cephalic vein in 98-99% of patients undergoing single- or dual-chamber CIED implantation.

Summary: In difficult biliary cannulation, there was no difference in post-ERCP pancreatitis rate between TPBS and DGW techniques. TPBS is a good alternative in cases of difficult cannulation when the guidewire is in the pancreatic duct.

Summary: With the advancement of magnetic actuation principles at ultrahigh fields (UHF), magnetic guidewires show great potential in medical procedures, particularly in MRI scanners. This study presents a magnetic guidewire design and steering strategy by elucidating the uniaxial magnetization behavior of permanent magnets. The proposed magnetic actuation framework allows for unique opportunities, such as in situ remagnetization, and enables next-generation magnetic robots to operate inside MRI scanners.
