Article Abstract
Objective: To simulate thrombotic occlusion of catheters and develop a model for thrombotic occlusion in peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), providing a framework for research on catheter occlusion and post-occlusion recanalization.
Methods: Following preparatory steps prior to modeling, sterile anticoagulant bovine blood was drawn and injected into the PICC. Subsequently, the catheter tip was clamped and left to stand for 72 h.
Results: A total of 140 catheter models were produced, all of which exhibited thrombosis, resulting in a 100% success rate for intra-catheter thrombus production. Of these, 118 models experienced no blood reflux when the syringe plunger was withdrawn and triggered an infusion pump alarm, achieving a catheter occlusion modeling success rate of 84.29%. There were 127 cases where syringe plunger withdrawal resulted in no blood reflux within the thrombotic catheter occlusion models, yielding an incidence rate of 90.71%, while 13 cases revealed blood reflux mixed with fine thrombosis, with an incidence rate of 9.29%. Additionally, 126 models triggered infusion pump alarms, with an incidence rate of 90%, while 14 models did not trigger alarms due to thrombus overflow at the catheter tip, with an incidence rate of 10%. The infusion pump alarm method and the syringe withdrawal method demonstrated a significant correlation in diagnosing thrombotic catheter occlusion.
Conclusion: The method for modeling thrombotic catheter occlusion used in this study is reliable, producing a model that accurately simulates the fundamental characteristics of thrombotic catheter occlusion. This model has the potential for application in clinical practice.

Fungal cerebral aneurysms, particularly those resulting from direct invasion by fungal sinusitis, are rare and often fatal when involving the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). We present a case of a ruptured fungal ICA aneurysm caused by sinusitis, successfully treated with parent artery occlusion (PAO). In this case, an 80-year-old woman presented with right ptosis, facial pain, and cranial nerve III, IV, and VI palsies.

Traditionally, clinical devices are designed, tested and improved through lengthy and expensive laboratory experiments and clinical trials [1]. More recently, computational methods have allowed for rapid testing, speeding up the design process and enabling far more complete searches of design space. While computational models cannot fully capture the complexities of biological systems, they provide valuable insights into crucial underlying mechanisms, such as the effects of fluid-structure interactions (FSIs).

Background: Despite successful mechanical thrombectomy (MT), approximately 50% of patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke experience poor outcomes due to reperfusion injury. Intra-arterial infusion of human serum albumin (HSA) may offer neuroprotective benefits; however, its safety and feasibility have not been established when delivered via the internal carotid artery. In this study we aimed to evaluate the safety and technical feasibility of HSA infusion through the guiding catheter placed during MT in patients with anterior circulation LVO stroke following successful reperfusion.

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.
