Adding Short to Left Gastric Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Obesity: Safety and Effectiveness
ConclusionCombined SGA and LGA embolization is safe and effective to treat obesity. Larger studies are needed to determine whether SGA  + LGA embolization results in more significant weight loss than LGA embolization alone.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Do Balloon Catheters have a Different Radial Force Along Their Longitudinal Axis?
ConclusionThe radial force is greater at both ends of the balloon than at the central portion, especially at the distal end. Dilation using the distal end of the balloon catheter is a practical method that can be applied in clinical practice without additional devices when encountering resistant stenosis, especially with semi-compliant balloons.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Comparison of Clinical and Radiological Outcomes Between Different (Balloon) Guide Catheter With and Without Inflated Balloon in Acute Ischem Stroke Patients: A MaSQ-Registry Study
ConclusionsThis study shows no clinical differences in ischemic stroke patients treated with BGC with inflated balloon compared to non-BGC and BGC without inflated balloon, despite lower periprocedural complication rates in the non-BGC group and lower eTICI scores in the BGC without inflated balloon group.Level of EvidenceLevel 3, non-controlled retrospective cohort study.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Radiofrequency Ablation of Parathyroid Adenoma: Results of a Retrospective Analysis of 60 Patients
ConclusionOur study showed that RFA with the alternative technique, called “Nik jet dissection” is a safe and effective modality in management of PTA. Therefore, we suggest expanding the indications for RFA in PTA management, especially when surgery is not feasible.Level of EvidenceLevel 3, Local non-random sample.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

A Comparative Analysis of Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Conscious Sedation in Managing Percutaneous Cholecystostomy Pain
ConclusionESPB significantly alleviates perioperative and postoperative pain in PC patients, reducing additional analgesic use and side effects. It holds promise as a key component of pain management for high-risk surgical patients.Level of EvidenceLevel 3, Non-randomized controlled cohort/follow-up study.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)
