Article Abstract

This case highlights the significance of adaptability and multidisciplinary teamwork when managing vascular complications. It highlights how basic tools, such as the snare device, can effectively retrieve fractured coronary catheters in resource-limited settings, potentially guiding future practices toward practical, cost-effective, and innovative solutions in similar clinical scenarios.

Comparison of Vascular Injury From Intravascular Lithotripsy, Cutting, or Ultra-High-Pressure Balloons During Coronary Calcium Modification.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv

September 2025

CVPath Institute, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA; University of Maryland, School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Effective modification of heavily calcified coronary lesions is critical for successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), cutting balloons (CBs), and ultra-high-pressure balloons (UHBs) are used commonly, yet data comparing their effectiveness and safety for calcified lesion modification remain unavailable.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of IVL, a CB, and a UHB on calcified coronary lesions in human cadaveric arteries, focusing on calcium fracture formation and vascular injury.

Guide Tip Damage Due to Rotablation.

JACC Case Rep

September 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Okayama University Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama, Japan.

Background: The rotational atherectomy system can effectively debulk calcified coronary lesions. However, rare complications specific to that system have been reported.

Case Summary: A 77-year-old man with a heavily calcified lesion in the right coronary artery (RCA) ostium underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in an 8-F system.

Background: Umbilical arterial catheterisation is a common intervention performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) especially in extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight neonates. Rarely catheter fracture or breakage can occur, leaving behind part of the catheter in the aorta. A handful of cases have been reported in the literature, with the majority being managed surgically.

Introduction: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), caused by pathogenic variants in the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene, is the most common genetic cause of mortality in children under the age of two. Prior reports of obstetric sonograms performed in pregnancies with severe forms of fetal SMA have discrepant findings that may stem from a failure to account for the SMN2 copy number.

Methods: We present a neonate diagnosed with SMA type 0 postnatally (0SMN1/1SMN2 genotype).

Introduction: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly prescribed for Type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their cardiometabolic benefits. However, their effects on fracture healing remain controversial. This study investigates perioperative GLP-1 RA use and outcomes following surgical treatment of lower extremity (LE) fractures.
