Article Abstract
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.

Implementation of a Feeding Protocol in Patients With Humidified HIGH Flow Nasal Cannula in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Improves Enteral Nutrition: The HIGHPE Study.

Purpose: There is limited evidence to guide the use of enteral nutrition (EN) for children with bronchiolitis who received Humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) and often kept nil per mouth for aspiration and progression to mechanical ventilation risk.
Methods: This quality improvement project included children with bronchiolitis who were supported by HHFNC in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). An algorithm to increase EN use in those participants was created by stakeholders.

Background: Invasive coronary physiology including fractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), and coronary flow reserve (CFR) are guideline-endorsed tools to guide the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Complex factors impact and confound these assessments, and discordance between modalities complicates clinical management. iEquate is a prospective observational trial that combines multi-modality coronary physiology and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to identify the determinants of pressure-wire derived myocardial ischemia and iFR-FFR discordance.

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.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of evidence-based catheter bundles, guided by the Plan-Do-Check-Act model, in reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and catheter usage at a 643-bed academic hospital.
Background: Despite previous efforts, our facility's CAUTI rates remained high, leading to increased morbidity, extended hospital stays, and higher costs. A four-year project was initiated to implement targeted interventions.
