Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) may rarely worsen after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to mechanical interference from the transcatheter heart valve (THV). Standard surgical approaches in these cases are often challenging due to anatomical constraints. Thus, there is a need for the development of effective alternatives to address this issue.

Advances in intracoronary imaging have made it possible to distinguish different pathological mechanisms underlying acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in vivo. Accurate identification of these mechanisms is increasingly recognized as essential for enabling tailored therapeutic strategies. ACS pathogenesis is primarily classified into 2 major types: plaque rupture (PR) and plaque erosion (PE).

Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a common life-threatening complication of portal hypertension (PHT), having a six-week mortality of 10%-20%. Major advances in the hemodynamic management, risk stratification, pharmacotherapy, endoscopy techniques, hemostatic devices and radiological interventions have led to improved management and outcome of AVB patients in the recent past. Therefore, the APASL Portal Hypertension Working Party, chose a panel of experts, primarily from the Asia-Pacific region, to identify important developments and controversial areas in the field of AVB.

A 50-year-old woman required an emergent operative exploration after an unsuccessful attempt at bedside removal of a ruptured intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Initial fluoroscopy demonstrated that the IABP tip moved dynamically with blood flow, but retraction and advancement caused significant bowing of the proximal external iliac artery. After unsuccessful endovascular snaring and resheathing, an exploratory laparotomy was required to remove the entrapped IABP via a longitudinal external iliac arteriotomy.
