Article Abstract
Background: Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) has been introduced to treat resistant hypertension. Although the technology of RDN has been largely improved, denervation of tortuous renal arteries remains challenging.
Case Presentation: This is a case report of a 49-year-old man with drug resistant hypertension. The patient was selected for RDN after ruling out possible causes of secondary hypertension. Computed tomography angiography showed a highly tortuous left renal artery. An Iberis multielectrode ablation catheter failed to reach the target vessel with a regular guiding catheter. A 5-French extension catheter was introduced into the proximal segment of the main left renal artery to provide extra support force, which enabled successful ablation of the highly tortuous left renal artery. His ambulatory blood pressure was significantly decreased at 1 month follow-up.
Conclusions: It is feasible and effective to use a guide extension catheter for denervation of highly tortuous renal arteries. The present study provides a useful method to ablate tortuous and angled renal arteries and branches.

Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Splenic Artery Aneurysm Resection.
J Vis Exp
August 2025
Cardiovascular Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital.
Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the most common visceral aneurysm and may develop significant risk for rupture and life-threatening complications when more than 3 cm, in pregnancy, or if resembling pseudoaneurysms. Traditional treatment options of open surgical repair and endovascular repair have been extensively studied, but the role of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery in definitively managing SAA is emerging as a promising minimally invasive alternative in select pathology. This case aims to present the technical details, challenges, and outcomes of an SAA in a young woman treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic resection, highlighting the feasibility and efficacy of this approach.

Background: Large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes face significant risks from increased anthropogenic pressure, making it crucial to understand their movement behaviour for conservation strategies.
Methods: We used conventional and generalised hidden Markov models (HMMs) to analyse GPS telemetry data collected from 2016 to 2022 on 15 subadult tigers to classify behavioural states across three life stages (pre-dispersal, dispersal, post-dispersal) in the Eastern Vidarbha Landscape, India. We further examined how intrinsic and extrinsic factors influenced transitions between these behavioural states.

Microglia, as resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS), have been the focus of the scientific community. The pace of exploration in the origin and development of microglia, though tortuous, never stops. Since colony-stimulating factor receptor 1 (CSF1R) inhibitors can achieve effective depletion of microglia and the repopulated microglia can be comparable to the controls, the therapeutic potential of this repopulation has prompted increasing attention and investigation.

Objective: Giant anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms are rare and technically challenging to manage. Surgical approaches are highly demanding, and the associated complication rates are not necessarily low. Conventional endovascular techniques often fail to achieve durable occlusion.

Pressure-driven separations with nanoporous membranes, such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, play a vital role in addressing water scarcity and enabling resource recovery. Understanding water or solvent transport in membrane pores is essential for advancing membrane separation technologies. A key question in transport modeling is to establish a relationship between solvent permeability and membrane porous structure properties, such as porosity or pore size.
