Article Abstract
Objectives: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with different cannulation strategies is determined according to surgical position and patient condition. However, no cannulation guidelines have been proposed. This retrospective study assessed the outcomes of diverse ECMO cannulation strategies in patients undergoing lung transplantation (LTx).
Methods: Data of patients undergoing intraoperative veno-arterial ECMO-assisted LTx were retrospectively collected from December 1st, 2015 to October 31st, 2021. Patients were classified into three groups based on the different cannulation strategies: femoral artery-femoral vein (F-F)-ECMO, axillary artery-femoral vein (A-F)-ECMO, and ascending aorta-femoral vein (AAO-F)-ECMO. The F-F-ECMO, A-F-ECMO, and AAO-F-ECMO groups comprised 34, 44, and 30 patients, respectively.
Main Results: The AAO-F-ECMO group exhibited a significantly shorter duration of postoperative ECMO therapy (3 vs. 2 vs. 0 days, P < 0.01).the level of postoperative proBNP was lower on the third and seventh days (P < 0.001). AAO-F-ECMO patients had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative infections, heart failure, and bleeding (P < 0.05). Similar outcomes were observed in postoperative survival rates among the three groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Ascending aorta-femoral vein ECMO can provide sufficient and effective aerobic blood to perfuse organs with fewer side effects than cannulation in the femoral artery-femoral vein or axillary artery-femoral vein.

Background: Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) has emerged as a viable alternative to surgical pulmonary valve replacement for patients with congenital heart disease and right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction. However, its adoption in low-resource settings has been limited.
Case Summary: We report the first successful TPVI procedures in Tanzania.

Background: Difficult biliary cannulation is a key challenge in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and a major risk factor for post-ERCP pancreatitis. When the pancreatic duct is unintentionally accessed, double guidewire (DGW) is the primary rescue strategy, while transpancreatic sphincterotomy (TPS) is an alternative. Previous evidence suggests that TPS may achieve higher cannulation success and lower PEP rates compared to DGW, though direct comparative data remain limited.

Suboptimal care for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in low- and middle-income countries is a significant problem. Registries from Latin America, Africa, and Asia show that less than 65% of patients receive reperfusion therapy, and widespread treatment delays and a lack of access to optimal therapies lead to preventable deaths and complications. While current guidelines provide a blueprint for care, their implementation in low-resource settings requires specific guidance that considers geographical, logistical, and economic realities.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in patients with ischaemic stroke and provide a scientific basis for developing targeted preventive and nursing measures.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to study patients with ischaemic stroke and indwelling catheterisation admitted to the Emergency Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2023 to February 2025. During hospitalisation, quality control was carried out in strict accordance with the consistent nursing operation of the patient's urethral catheter insertion and daily maintenance of the urinary catheter.
