Article Abstract
Once a self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve replacement is fully deployed, a snare device must be used to retrieve it. Minimal data are available regarding technique, efficacy, and complications associated with the retrieval of such valves. Here, we present two patients in which an EN Snare Device (Merit Medical System, South Jordan, UT, USA) was safely and effectively used to retrieve and reposition the latest generation self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Background: Umbilical arterial catheterisation is a common intervention performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) especially in extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight neonates. Rarely catheter fracture or breakage can occur, leaving behind part of the catheter in the aorta. A handful of cases have been reported in the literature, with the majority being managed surgically.

Left atrial (LA) decompression is often performed in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to help offload the left ventricle. Atrial septal stents may be used to ensure the adequacy of LA decompression; however, if there is cardiopulmonary recovery and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support is no longer needed, the stents require removal. We describe 3 pediatric patients who required venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and atrial septal stent placement who underwent successful transcatheter removal of the stents after cardiac recovery.

Complete fracture of a guiding catheter is a rare, but potentially serious, complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. Options for removal include endovascular retrieval devices or surgery. A rare case of a fractured guiding catheter with its tip in the ascending aorta and its successful retrieval using a combination of home-made snare, kissing guiding catheter and balloon trekking technique is reported.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is closely associated with tumor progression and the tumor microenvironment (TME), but its role in breast cancer (BC), which can be affected by HPV, has not been reported.
Methods: Ten independent BC cohorts were included to generate two HPV-related gene-based signatures. The CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE algorithms were used to quantify the immune cell fraction and TME scores, and the correlations between HPV-related gene-based signatures and scores were analyzed.
This case highlights the significance of adaptability and multidisciplinary teamwork when managing vascular complications. It highlights how basic tools, such as the snare device, can effectively retrieve fractured coronary catheters in resource-limited settings, potentially guiding future practices toward practical, cost-effective, and innovative solutions in similar clinical scenarios.
