AbstractHypoplasia of the transverse aortic arch is commonly associated with aortic coarctation. Persistent or recurrent obstruction can occur at this level after successful repair of the native coarcted segment. The purpose of this report is to present a new technique to treat such lesions, namely with implantation of a balloon-expandable stent. This approach was used successfully in 4 children with such hypoplasia occurring after repair of coarctation. Implantation led to both anatomical and physiological relief of obstruction in all. The patients tolerated the procedure, and there were no major adverse events.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to present a new technique for endovascular aortic arch repair for 1, 2, or 3 vessels using preloaded wires and precannulated target vessels without wire wrapping. Technique: This technique uses a prototype catheter with 2 parallel lumens to position through-and-through guidewires in the supra-aortic branches and an extra-stiff guidewire in the ascending aorta with no wrapping. This allows the introduction and advancement of the device with the already precannulated target vessels. The endograft is advanced to the aortic arch without twisting or wrapping. Covered stents are deployed to align the graft and target vessels. Conclusion: To our knowledge, a technique that avoids wire wrapping has not been previously described. This technique allows safer and faster endovascular arch procedures and opens up new possibilities by enabling multi-vessel endovascular aortic arch repair with all precannulated target vessels.

Objectives: The objective of this pilot study was to report the feasibility and safety of a new 3-port supraclavicular approach in endoscopic submandibular sialoadenectomy. Methods: We reported the safety, surgical feasibility, and aesthetic features of the total endoscopic submandibular sialoadenectomy (submandibular gland excision) using a 3-port supraclavicular approach in our institute from December 2018 to January 2020. Results: Endoscopic submandibular sialoadenectomy using a 3-port supraclavicular approach was performed in 2 patients with intraglandular sialolithiasis. No major adverse events occurred in this study. The patient’s satisfaction score was high (more than 8; range: 0-10). Conclusions: The 3-port supraclavicular approach submandibular sialoadenectomy is a feasible method that permits a relatively good surgical scarring and minimal adverse effects.
