Article Abstract
Background: We assessed the outcomes of a push-pull monorail technique to overcome a difficult anatomical course through the left internal jugular vein in implantable port insertions.
Methods: From December 2018 to May 2021, a total of 5326 patients were referred for implantable port insertion in our interventional unit, among which 472 cases were requested for insertion on the left side. Our monorail technique was applied only when the catheter tip entered the azygos vein instead of the superior vena cava (n = 8). The technique consists of a puncture at the distal tip of the port catheter with a 21-gauge micropuncture needle, advancing a 0.018-inch hair-wire to the guide, providing support for the pre-assembled port, and advancing the microsheath over the hair-wire to prevent extrusion of the catheter.
Results: The push-pull monorail technique was performed in eight patients, and all cases were technically successful, exhibiting a technical success rate of 100%. There were no immediate or delayed complications.
Conclusions: The push-pull monorail technique is helpful in overcoming the difficult anatomical course through the left internal jugular vein during implantable port insertion.

Bone defects in the limbs may result from trauma, debridement during osteitis or pseudarthrosis resection or tumors [1]. Treating bone defects of the femur and tibia poses a substantial challenge in trauma surgery and orthopedics. Interdisciplinary orthoplastic treatment combined with soft tissue reconstruction is often necessary to preserve the extremity and its function.

: Tandem Lesions (TLs) or Tandem Occlusions (TOs) are characterized by simultaneous high-grade stenosis or occlusion of the proximal extracranial internal carotid artery and the intracranial terminal internal carotid artery or its branches. These lesions can result in stroke and pose significant challenges to endovascular treatment. This study introduces and evaluates the "T-Top technique" as an innovative approach to address TLs, assessing its safety and technical efficacy.

Objective: Intraprocedural atheroembolization during carotid artery stenting (CAS) can be reduced through careful patient selection, consideration of vascular anatomy and lesion characteristics, operator and institutional experience, peri-procedural antithrombotic and antiplatelet therapy, and use of embolic protection. However, CAS can also result in stroke as the stent is deployed and embolic protection withdrawn. The free-cell area of most closed-cell stents is <5 mm, and ≥5 mm for open-cell stents.

Background: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical and psychological outcomes of using a locking compression plate (LCP) as a sequential external fixator following the distraction phase in the treatment of tibial bone defects caused by fracture-related infection (FRI).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records and consecutive X-ray images of patients with tibial bone defects who were treated with an LCP as a sequential external fixator following the distraction phase, between June 2017 and December 2022. The ASAMI criteria were applied to assess the bone and functional outcomes, and postoperative complications were evaluated by using the Paley classification.
