Direct exposure and cannulation of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) provides an alternative access to reach the cavernous sinus for carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) embolization, when classic transvenous routes through the inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) or facial vein are not feasible. We have used indocyanine green (ICG)-videoangiography to study intraoperatively the flow inside the SOV in two...

BACKGROUND Difficult biliary cannulation in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can result in failure of common bile duct (CBD) stone removal and pancreatitis. The present study aimed to report the efficacy and safety of limited precut sphincterotomy (PS) combined with endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) for CBD stone removal in patients with difficult biliary cannula...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous cannulation of the internal jugular vein in infants is technically more difficult and carries a higher risk of carotid artery puncture than in older children and adults. In this prospective study, the authors tested their hypothesis that using an ultrasound scanner would increase the success of internal jugular cannulation and decrease the incidence of carotid artery pun...

Intracavernous pressure (ICP) measurement is a well-established technique for assessing the erectile function, which was performed by cannulating either crus or shaft of the penis. However, there are no studies concerning the experimental performance of the two cannulation sites yet. The aim of this study was to compare the measuring outcomes using two different cannulation sites. To validate t...

Whether cardiopulmonary bypass alone or together with the manipulation of the aorta produce neurological complication remains controversial. Using a domestic pig model of cardiopulmonary bypass, we investigated the immediate effects of aortic cannulation and cardiopulmonary bypass on neuronal injury in different brain regions. We compared the presence of neuronal injury in three experimental gr...

Background: In order to analyze the cecum-colon ecosystem and the treatment of the cecal impaction and hindgut acidosis, cecal cannulation is needed. It is essential to select a simple, fast and inexpensive cecal cannulation method. Because of different complications in general anesthesia, the standing surgery is known as a better option for the horse emergency surgery. Objective: The objective...

Placement of a central venous catheter (CVC) is a common procedure, often replaced by femoral vein cannulation. The overall complication rate is 12 - 15%. Loss of a complete guide wire into the circulation is a rare and preventable complication. Here we report a case of guide wire loss during femoral venous cannulation and literature review.

ObjectiveAcute limb ischemia (ALI) and cannulation site bleeding are frequent complications of venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) associated with worse outcomes. The goals this study were to assess our rates ECMO-related ALI evaluate the efficacy strategies prevent them, such as distal perfusion cannula (DPC) ultrasound-guided cannulation.MethodsThis is a single-center...
