    Abstract Pancreatic cancer is a lethal disease, with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) having a dismal prognosis. For patients with LAPC, gemcitabine-based regimens, with or without radiation, have long been the standard of care. Irreversible electroporation (IRE), a non-thermal ablative technique, may potentially prolong the survival of patients with LAPC. In this article, the authors present a case of LAPC of the uncinate process (biopsy proven pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma) with duodenal invasion. The patient had a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy but was found to have stable disease. He then underwent intra-operative IRE with cholecystectomy, Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy and hepaticojejunostomy. He subsequently underwent percutaneous IRE 13 months post open IRE. The patient also completed peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and has been started on Lanreotide. Following combination therapy, the pancreatic tumor showed significant reduction in size, with patient survival at 53 months post-diagnosis at the time of writing.

    Abstract For patients with "no-option" chronic limb-threatening ischemia, a final attempt can be made for limb salvage in the form of percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA). In the present study, we describe five cases of pDVA using a BeBack crossing catheter (Bentley InnoMed GmbH; previously, the GoBack crossing catheter; Upstream Peripheral Technologies). From November 2021 to July 2022, five patients underwent pDVA using the BeBack crossing catheter. The demographic data, procedural details, and patient outcomes were recorded. Successful vascular crossing was achieved in all five cases using the BeBack device. No surgical complications were encountered. The limb salvage rate was 60%, and the wound closure rate was 40%. No mortalities occurred during the follow-up period. The findings from the present study demonstrate that the use of the BeBack crossing catheter for pDVA is safe and feasible.

    Abstract In this technique, we describe the insertion of a second sheath into the primary sheath containing a guidewire that is meant to be exteriorized. The second sheath serves to open the valve of the primary sheath and creates a water-tight chamber for the guidewire to enter. The second sheath is then removed, exposing the successfully exteriorized guidewire. This technique is an useful adjunct to conventional guidewire exteriorization techniques during body floss procedures.

    Abstract The liver is frequently the most common site of metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer, occurring in more than 50% of patients. While surgical resection remains the only potential curative option, it is only eligible in 15-20% of patients at presentation. In the past two decades, major advances in modern chemotherapy and personalized biological agents have improved overall survival in patients with unresectable liver metastasis. For patients with dominant liver metastatic disease or limited extrahepatic disease, liver-directed intra-arterial therapies such as hepatic arterial chemotherapy infusion, chemoembolization and radioembolization are treatment strategies which are increasingly being considered to improve local tumor response and to reduce systemic side effects. Currently, these therapies are mostly used in the salvage setting in patients with chemo-refractory disease. However, their use in the first-line setting in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy as well as to a lesser degree, in a neoadjuvant setting, for downstaging to resection have also been investigated. Furthermore, some clinicians have considered these therapies as a temporizing tool for local disease control in patients undergoing a chemotherapy 'holiday' or acting as a bridge in patients between different lines of systemic treatment. This review aims to provide an update on the current evidence regarding liver-directed intra-arterial treatment strategies and to discuss potential trends for the future.
