Article Abstract
Endovascular retrieval of fractured inferior vena cava (IVC) filters after the manufacturer recommended indwelling time can be challenging and require advanced retrieval techniques. We describe an endovascular retrieval technique of a fractured Optease IVC filter in a 57-year-old woman using endobronchial forceps and intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography guidance. Following incomplete filter retrieval, the location and orientation of fractured strut was confirmed by cone-beam computed tomography venography. The embedded filter fragment was then successfully removed using endobronchial forceps via a transjugular venous approach. In the present report, we highlight the additional value of intraoperative cross-sectional imaging, in conjunction with advanced endovascular techniques, for retrieval of challenging IVC filters.

Stentplasty for treating symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease following failure of medical therapy.

Purpose: Endovascular treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) remains challenging due to procedural risks and stroke recurrence. Previous trials have favored aggressive medical therapy. In patients refractory to medical therapy, 'stentplasty' using expandable and retrievable devices may provide a safer alternative to balloon angioplasty by allowing controlled submaximal vessel dilation without flow arrest.

A 49-year-old female presented with subacute onset of severe worsening bilateral lower extremity swelling. Bilateral iliac venous thrombus and extensive thrombus of the inferior vena cava with extension to the right atrium and bilateral segmental pulmonary emboli was identified on imaging. She was initiated on therapeutic anticoagulation prior to undergoing percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with the RevCore TM device (Inari Medical, Irvine, CA) with retrieval of white, relatively well-formed organized clot vs mass.

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.

Despite advancements in endovascular equipment, life-threatening procedure-related complications, including arterial perforation, remain a concern. In particular, microguidewire entrapment in perforating arteries poses a significant risk of arterial avulsion injury. However, limited guidance exists on effectively managing such scenarios, and to the best of our knowledge, no cases of successful resolution of entrapment using nimodipine have been reported to date.
