Double Balloon Catheter-Mediated Transarterial Chemotherapy Delivery in a Swine Model: A Mechanism Recruiting the Vasa Vasorum for Localized Therapies
This report examines the potential mechanism of localized drug delivery via trans-arterial micro perfusion (TAMP) using a proprietary adjustable double-balloon occlusion catheter in a porcine model. Adult Yorkshire swine (N=21) were used in IACUC-approved protocols. The RC-120 catheter was positioned into visceral, femoral, and pulmonary arteries with infusion of methylene blue dye, gemcitabine, or gold nanoparticles.

Collateral round ligament arterial supply of placenta accreta spectrum and considerations for prophylactic balloon occlusion catheter placement
Internal iliac artery (IIA) balloon occlusion catheters have been commonly inserted to decrease the risk of post-partum hemorrhage in placenta accreta spectrum disorders, however, there has been mixed success in clinical trials. Placement of an infra-renal aortic balloon has shown more consistent efficacy in recent studies. A possible reason for this is collateral arterial supply to the placenta from external iliac artery branches. Retrospective chart review was conducted of angiography images during prophylactic IIA balloon occlusion catheter insertion over a 7-year period.

In Memoriam: Anders Lunderquist, 1925 –2023
Dr. Anders Lunderquist, a Swedish radiologist who was pivotal in the development of interventional radiology (IR) and a discoverer and inventor of fundamental principles and techniques that became the basis of a wide variety of interventional methods including now-ubiquitous percutaneous hepatoportal interventions such as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, chemoembolization, biliary catheterization, and variceal embolization, died on December 12, 2023, at his beloved Lund University hospital in Lund, Sweden.
