For patients with "no-option" chronic limb-threatening ischemia, a final attempt can be made for limb salvage in the form of percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA). In the present study, we describe five cases of pDVA using a BeBack crossing catheter (Bentley InnoMed GmbH; previously, the GoBack crossing catheter; Upstream Peripheral Technologies). From November 2021 to July 2022, five patients underwent pDVA using the BeBack crossing catheter. The demographic data, procedural details, and patient outcomes were recorded. Successful vascular crossing was achieved in all five cases using the BeBack device. No surgical complications were encountered. The limb salvage rate was 60%, and the wound closure rate was 40%. No mortalities occurred during the follow-up period. The findings from the present study demonstrate that the use of the BeBack crossing catheter for pDVA is safe and feasible.

Introduction: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) requires reliable vascular access for medication, transfusion, and blood sampling, which often involves painful venipuncture. This prospective study evaluated a novel dual peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) technique to reduce venipuncture frequency in allo-HSCT recipients.
Methods: The study enrolled 29 allo-HSCT recipients.

Background: Low-value care provides little or no benefit to patients, or its risk of harm outweighs the potential benefits. Non-nursing tasks refer to tasks performed by nurses below their scope of practice. With increasing pressure on the global nursing workforce, it is necessary to identify these concepts to deliver fundamental care.

Objective: Endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases can be challenging in patients with difficult access routes. We describe a turn-over technique using a balloon guiding catheter (BGC) via the transfemoral approach to perform neuroendovascular treatment.
Case Presentation: An 80-year-old female with a recurrent right middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm after coil embolization underwent successful stent-assisted coiling via the transfemoral approach.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) compared to traditional manual percutaneous coronary intervention (M-PCI).
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, non-inferior clinical trial enrolled patients with coronary heart disease who met the inclusion criteria and had indications for elective percutaneous coronary intervention. Participants were randomly assigned to either the R-PCI group or the M-PCI group.

Background: Pulsed electric field ablation (PFA) techniques for treating cardiac arrhythmias have attracted considerable interest. For example, atrial fibrillation can be effectively treated by pulmonary vein isolation using PFA. However, some arrhythmias originate deep within the myocardium, making them difficult to reach with conventional ablation methods.
