BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether bioprostheses used for transcatheter aortic valve implantation will have similar long-term durability as those used for surgical aortic valve replacement. Repetitive mechanical stress applied to the valve leaflets, particularly during diastole, is the main determinant of structural valve deterioration. Leaflet mechanical stress cannot be measured in vivo. The objective of this in vitro/in silico study was thus to compare the magnitude and regional distribution of leaflet mechanical stress in old vs new generations of self-expanding (SE) vs balloon expandable (BE) transcatheter heart valves (THVs)...

We report the first case of a juvenile nasal angiofibroma (JNA) fed by multiple arteries from the internal carotid artery (ICA), removed without complications by temporarily blocking the ICA with two balloons. An early adolescent with JNA underwent preoperative embolisation of feeding arteries arising from the external carotid artery (ECA) (University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre classification IV). Endoscopic resection was attempted once but discontinued due to massive bleeding (7000 mL). 17 months later, the JNA had grown to fill both nasal cavities...

OBJECTIVE: Recently, two randomized controlled trials compared removal of cervical ripening balloon (CRB) after 6 versus 12 h. Their results showed similar Bishop score changes in both groups and a shorter time to delivery in the 6-h group. Neither of the studies was powered to show difference in mode of delivery. The aim of this study was to compare mode of delivery when the CRB was removed after 6 versus 12 h. METHODS: A historical control study comparing induction of labor with a CRB between two time periods, one in which the CRB was removed after 12 h (12-h group), and the other in which it was removed after 6 h (6-h group)...

NF1 is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease, with a prevalence of at least 1 in 4000-5000 population. The diagnosis criteria of NF1 included typical manifestations such as café-au-lait spots, frecking in the axilla or inguinal region, multiple neurofibromas, Lisch nodeules, and distinctive osseous lesions. Genetic testing shows NF1 mutation. It is essential for tumor surveillance in NF1 patients because their life expectancy is about 54 years due to malignancy. A case of NF-1 patient receive laparoscopic small bowel resection and finally diagnosed as adenocarcinoma and ganglioneuroma...

OBJECTIVE: Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been conducted to summarize the evidence for the efficacy of various labor induction agents. However, the most effective agents or strategies have not been conclusively determined. We aimed to perform a meta-review and network meta-analysis of published systematic reviews to determine the efficacy and safety of currently employed pharmacologic, mechanical, and combined methods of labor induction. DATA SOURCES: With the assistance of an experienced medical librarian, we performed a systematic search of the literature using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Control Trials...

This review assessed the efficacy and safety of pharmacologic agents (prostaglandins, oxytocin, mifepristone, hyaluronidase, and nitric oxide donors) and mechanical methods (single- and double-balloon catheters, laminaria, membrane stripping, and amniotomy) and those generally considered under the rubric of complementary medicine (castor oil, nipple stimulation, sexual intercourse, herbal medicine, and acupuncture). A substantial body of published reports, including 2 large network meta-analyses, support the safety and efficacy of misoprostol (PGE1) when used for cervical ripening and labor induction...

BACKGROUND: Being considered a life-threatening condition, cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) leads to loss of fertility, severe bleeding, and even maternal mortality. We intended to assess the effect of double-balloon cervical ripening catheter insertion on CSP termination before nine weeks of gestation. METHOD: All participants were diagnosed CSP by abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound . The cases were treated with a sterile, double-balloon cervical ripening catheter inserted with real-time transabdominal ultrasound guidance and removed three days later...

BACKGROUND: Despite recent emerging literature involving the utility of endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) of strictures via balloon-assisted endoscopy (BAE), specifically regarding the management of Crohn's disease (CD), the optimal clinical approach with balloon systems has been largely neglected in academic literature. OBJECTIVES: This study assesses the intra-procedural success and safety of EBD via BAE for small bowel CD strictures while detailing our clinical approach and technique...

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that has a bimodal distribution, occurring most frequently between ages 15 to 30 years and 40 to 60 years. It presents with a relapsing and remitting course. The most common area involved is the terminal ileum and right colon and the inflammation oftentimes leads to non-caseating granulomas and ulcerations in both the superficial mucosa and deeper layers. Additionally, pneumatosis intestinalis is defined as the presence of gas and free air in the extraluminal space of the intestines which is an abnormal occurrence and correlates with underlying pathology...

BACKGROUND: Double kissing (DK)-crush and T-stenting and small protrusion (TAP) techniques are gaining popularity, but the comparison for both techniques is still lacking. This study sought to retrospectively evaluate the long-term outcomes of DK-crush and TAP techniques in patients with complex bifurcation lesions. METHODS: A total of 255 (male: 205 [80.3%], mean age: 59.56 ± 10.13 years) patients who underwent coronary bifurcation intervention at a single-center between January 2014 and May 2021 were included...

BACKGROUND: The clinicopathological features and prognosis of primary small bowel adenocarcinoma (PSBA), excluding duodenal cancer, remain undetermined due to its rarity in Japan. METHODS: We analyzed 354 patients with 358 PSBAs, between January 2008 and December 2017, at 44 institutions affiliated with the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum. RESULTS: The median age was 67 years (218 males, 61.6%). The average tumor size was 49...

Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) are the gold standard for feeding assistance for children with feeding dysfunction. Current G-tubes pose complications that interrupt the delivery of feed, including tube displacement and difficulty of at-home use. This study details an alternative, spoke-based, double-lumen G-tube design and preliminary validation of its function and usability. Pull force testing was performed on spoke G-tube models across three sizes and two classifications (hard/soft). Preliminary models were evaluated against market standards...

BACKGROUND: Duodenal stump leakage is a serious post-gastrectomy complication, and there have been no reports on endoscopic drainage. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of duodenal stump leakage after laparoscopic gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction in a 68-year-old man. First-line conservative management was ineffective. Reoperation was performed because of severe abdominal pain and increased ascites. After reoperation, duodenal stump leakage recurred with bleeding from the anterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery...

A 53-year-old Japanese man presented to the emergency department with epigastric pain and bloating. Computed tomography revealed a thickening of the jejunal wall and proximal dilation. Double-balloon enteroscopy was performed to investigate the jejunal thickening, which revealed an anisakis larva in the jejunum with an associated ulcer. The larva was removed using endoscopic forceps, after which there was immediate improvement of symptoms. Further patient interview determined that he had consumed marinated mackerel the day before the onset of symptoms...

A 62-year-old male patient underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with modified Child reconstruction for distal cholangiocarcinoma. After eight years, a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a recurrent lesion at the biliojejunal anastomosis, and a biliary stent was placed for obstructive cholangitis in the right posterior segment of the liver. A right hepatectomy was planned for a local recurrent lesion;thus, percutaneous transhepatic portal embolization was performed on the portal vein's right branch to enlarge the left liver...
