Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little information regarding complications of arterial catheterization in modern clinical care. We aimed to determine the incidence of abnormal duplex vascular ultrasound and catheter related infections following perioperative arterial catheterization. METHODS Patients requiring arterial catheterization for elective surgery were included and insertion details collected prospectively. Duplex ultrasound evaluation was performed 24 h after catheter removal. Symptomatic patients were identified by self-reported questionnaire. On Day 7, patients answered questions by telephone, related to the insertion site, pain, and function. Results of catheter tip and blood culture analyses were sought. Univariate associations of patient and surgical characteristics with abnormal ultrasound were assessed with p < 0.05 considered significant. RESULTS Of 339 catheterizations, 105 (40%) had ultrasound evaluation. Catheters were indwelling for median (IQR, range) duration of 6.0 h (4.4-8.2, 1.8-28) with no catheter-related infections. There were 16 (15.2%, 95% CI 9.0%-23.6%) abnormal results, including 14 radial artery thromboses, one radial artery dissection, and one radial vein thrombosis. Those with abnormal ultrasound results were more likely to have had Arrow catheters inserted (68.8% vs 27%, p = 0.023) and more than one skin puncture (37.5% vs 26.8%, p = 0.031). Two of the 16 (12.5%) patients with abnormal ultrasound results reported new symptoms related to the hand compared with nine of the 88 (10.2%) with normal results (p = 0.1). No patients required urgent referral for management. CONCLUSIONS Thrombosis was the most common abnormality and was usually asymptomatic. There were no infections, few post-operative symptoms, and minimal functional impairment following arterial catheterization.

Abstract
The development of biomedical soft- or hardware frequently includes testing in animals. However, large efforts have been made to reduce the number of animal experiments, according to the 3Rs principle. Simultaneously, a significant number of surplus animals are euthanized without scientific necessity. The primary aim of this study was to establish a post-mortem rat perfusion model using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in surplus rat cadavers and generate first post vivo results concerning the oxygenation performance of a recently developed ECMO membrane oxygenator. Four rats were euthanized and connected post-mortem to a venous-arterial ECMO circulation for up to eight hours. Angiographic perfusion proofs, blood gas analyses and blood oxygenation calculations were performed. The mean preparation time for the ECMO system was 791 ± 29 s and sufficient organ perfusion could be maintained for 463 ± 26 min, proofed via angiographic imaging and a mean femoral arterial pressure of 43 ± 17 mmHg. A stable partial oxygen pressure, a 73% rise in arterial oxygen concentration and an exponentially increasing oxygen extraction ratio up to 4.75 times were shown. Considering the 3Rs, the established post-mortal ECMO perfusion rat model using surplus animals represents a promising alternative to models using live animals. Given the preserved organ perfusion, its use could be conceivable for various biomedical device testing.

Abstract
Patients with acute respiratory failure who are anticipated to have a significant recovery and require prolonged mechanical ventilation, defined as ventilation lasting 7 days or longer, should be evaluated for the potential need for a tracheostomy. A tracheostomy reduces the necessity for sedation and aids in the process of weaning patients. The popularity of percutaneous tracheostomy techniques, which can be carried out at the patient's bedside, has increased due to their ability to save costs associated with time in the operating room. This video tutorial provides a comprehensive guide comprising 10 sequential steps, demonstrating the process of performing a percutaneous tracheostomy. The technique highlighted in the tutorial uses the Seldinger method alongside serial dilators, while also covering the essential anatomical aspects and necessary equipment.

Abstract
A 70-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with recent spontaneous externalization of a metallic device from his right inner thigh. He had been experiencing mild local pain for 2 weeks and had a recent hospitalization due to cardiogenic hemodynamic instability, requiring a central venous catheter placement in his right internal jugular vein 3 months earlier. Doppler ultrasound confirmed the intravascular foreign body hypothesis as a guidewire was identified inside the right femoral vein, associated with femoropopliteal venous thrombosis. The guidewire was successfully removed percutaneously through simple manual traction guided by radioscopy. The patient was discharged the following day on oral anticoagulation with rivaroxaban. On outpatient follow-up 4 weeks post discharge, he had no complaints in the right lower limb except for slight swelling. Central venous catheterization is a common invasive procedure that, although unquestionably safe and well stablished in medical practice, can lead to serious complications when performed without proper technique.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a well-established treatment choice for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). While there are several methods for PD catheter insertion, they each have limitations. In this study, we present a new hybrid method for PD catheter insertion and compare it to the conventional laparoscopic method. METHODS This retrospective study included 171 patients who were undergoing their first PD catheter insertion, and a total of 20% of the enrolled patients had a past medical history of abdominal surgery. Out of these, 101 patients underwent the laparoscopic method and 70 underwent a new invented hybrid method. The study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes, incidence of early and late complications, hospital stay, and medical expenses between the two groups. RESULTS There were no notable differences in basic demographic features and comorbid conditions between the two groups. The results of our data revealed that the hybrid group had a significantly shorter break-in period and did not require temporary hemodialysis. Additionally, length of hospital stay and medical costs were significantly lower in the hybrid group (all p < 0.05). The incidence of early complications was lower in the hybrid group, while the incidence of late complications was comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that the hybrid method of PD catheter insertion provides a safe and efficient alternative to the traditional laparoscopic method, enabling urgent-start PD and reducing hospital stays and medical expenses. Our findings support the use of the hybrid method as a new standard of care for ESKD patients undergoing PD catheter insertion.

Abstract
Background With gastrostomy becoming a common surgical procedure within the pediatric population surgeons continued to introduce modifications on the procedure to overcome some of the challenges and minimize complications. Modified U-stitches laparoscopic gastrostomy is gaining favor in some centers including the center of this study. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate and compare its outcomes. Methods Eighty-nine gastrostomy procedures performed between 2013 and 2020 were reviewed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of a novel modified U-stitches laparoscopic gastrostomy (MLG) to the standard laparoscopic gastrostomy (LG) in children. The main outcome measured is the rate of postoperative complications encompassing dislodgement of gastrostomy button, leak around button, local infection, and development of granulation tissue post-surgery which is compared between the two population groups. Results The rate of leak around the button was found to be significantly less in the MLG (4%) compared to (15%) in the traditional LG approach with a p-value of 0.03. However, the overall complication rate for MGL is 63%; while it is 73% for LG. Conclusions The modified U-stitches laparoscopic gastrostomy has a lower rate of complications in comparison to the standard laparoscopic gastrostomy making it a preferred technique for gastrostomy placement in children.

Abstract
Objective To explore the efficacy and short-term complications of a modified technique to percutaneously insert a peritoneal dialysis catheter. Methods We reviewed the outcomes of 94 patients who underwent peritoneal dialysis catheterization between October 2017 and April 2020. Of these, 47 cases were placed by a conventional Seldinger technique, whereas 47 cases were placed by a modified technique based on the Seldinger method. The success rates of the catheter insertion and three-month postoperative complications were compared between these two groups. Results The catheter insertion success rates were comparable between the two groups: 93.6% in the conventional technique group and 97.9% in the modified technique group (p = 0.307). The incidence of postoperative catheter migration was lower using the modified technique (4.3%) than the conventional technique (18.3%) (p = 0.037). None of the patients in the modified technique group had postoperative dialysate leakage, whereas this occurred in 9.0% of patients in the conventional technique group (p = 0.036). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of postoperative bleeding, infection, or visceral damage between the two groups. Conclusions The modified Seldinger technique for percutaneous peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion reduced the short-term postoperative complications of catheter migration and dialysate leakage, with a comparable successful catheter insertion rate compared with the conventional Seldinger technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still no reference standard for the implantation of totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs). A recently published multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) revealed a significantly greater risk of pneumothorax after closed cannulation than after an open strategy. The aim of this meta-analysis was to provide an update of the available evidence for the safety and effectiveness of primary open versus closed cannulation strategy. METHODS RCTs comparing outcomes of open cut-down of the cephalic vein and closed cannulation of the subclavian vein were sought systematically in MEDLINE, Web of Science and CENTRAL. The primary outcome was the occurrence of pneumothorax. A beta-binominal model was applied to combine the respective outcomes, and results are presented as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Six RCTs with a total of 1831 patients were included in final analysis. Meta-analysis showed statistically significant superiority of the open cut-down technique regarding pneumothorax (OR 0.308, 95% CI 0.122 to 0.776), but a statistically significant higher failure of the primary technique for the open cut-down technique than for closed cannulation (OR 2.364, 95% CI 1.051 to 5.315). There were no significant differences between the two procedures regarding other morbidity endpoints. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis shows a general superiority of open cut-down of the cephalic vein over closed cannulation of the subclavian vein regarding the occurrence of pneumothorax. Open cut-down should be the first-line approach for TIVAP implantation. Closed cannulation should be performed with ultrasound as second-line procedure if the open technique fails.

Abstract
A preterm infant with birth weight 1,550 g had an intravenous foreign body between the external iliac vein and the common iliac vein, which accidentally happened during peripheral intravascular central catheter insertion by the Seldinger technique. The infant initially received conservative management and close monitoring. Antibiotics were administered 4 weeks to treat culture positive sepsis and meningitis. The infant was clinically stable till the cannula fragment migrated to the heart 34 days later. At that time, his weight was 2,200 g, and he was full fed. The cannula fragment was retrieved by emergency interventional radiology via the right femoral access, with no complications. The infant was discharged at 45 days of age and closely followed up post-discharge. He is currently 6 months old, with normal development. This is the first case of successful percutaneous retrieval of an intracardiac intravenous cannula fragment via femoral access in a premature infant in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small series has shown that cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) can be achieved in a majority of patients using exclusively cephalic venous access. We sought to determine whether this method is suitable for widespread use. METHODS A group of 19 operators including 11 trainees in three pacing centres attempted to use cephalic access alone for all CRT device implants over a period of 8 years. The access route for each lead, the procedure outcome, duration, and complications were collected prospectively. Data were also collected for 105 consecutive CRT device implants performed by experienced operators not using the exclusively cephalic method. RESULTS A new implantation of a CRT device using exclusively cephalic venous access was attempted in 1091 patients (73.6% male, aged 73 ± 12 years). Implantation was achieved using cephalic venous access alone in 801 cases (73.4%) and using a combination of cephalic and other access in a further 180 (16.5%). Cephalic access was used for 2468 of 3132 leads implanted (78.8%). Compared to a non-cephalic reference group, complications occurred less frequently (69/1091 vs 12/105; P = .0468), and there were no pneumothoraces with cephalic implants. Procedure and fluoroscopy duration were shorter (procedure duration 118 ± 45 vs 144 ± 39 minutes, P < .0001; fluoroscopy duration 15.7 ± 12.9 vs 22.8 ± 12.2 minutes, P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS CRT devices can be implanted using cephalic access alone in a substantial majority of cases. This approach is safe and efficient.

Abstract
In up to 13.7% of device implants, lead entry through the cephalic, axillary, or subclavian veins might be unfeasible. Transjugular permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation may be considered as a bailout strategy in the difficult anatomy of conventional veins, before resorting to epicardial pacing lead, which requires general anesthesia and thoracotomy. We described a case report of a single chamber PPM implantation in an 83-year-old man using transjugular Seldinger approach without surgical cut down of the internal jugular vein, due to spasm, stenosis, and thrombosis of the upper limbs venous systems. Acceptable lead impedance and threshold were maintained during 2 months follow-up.

Abstract
AIM To comparatively evaluate Seldinger and Trocar techniques in the percutaneous treatment of hydatid disease.
METHODS Trocar and Seldinger techniques were used for 49 and 56 cysts, respectively, among 106 hydatid cysts in 88 patients. The number of males and females were 22 and 66, respectively with a mean age of 44.9 years (range, 15-87). Follow-up studies included cyst diameter, cyst contents, and morphological changes in the cyst wall, local recurrence, and secondary invasion, using ultrasound, computerized tomography and chest X-rays.
RESULTS The positive criteria of healing were a decrease in cyst diameter, progressive solidification of the cyst contents, and disappearance of the cyst. Local recurrence was defined as an increase in the cyst diameter and contents, and appearance of daughter cysts in the primary cavity, while secondary dissemination was defined as the appearance of new cysts outside the treated cyst. Mean duration of follow-up was 19.23 mo (range, 18-26 mo). Follow-up results demonstrated that no significant differences were present between the Trocar and Seldinger techniques in the percentage of decrease in the cyst volume, rate of early complications, local recurrence and secondary dissemination (P = 0.384, 0.069, 0.215 and 0.533, respectively).
CONCLUSION There are no differences between the Seldinger and Trocar techniques that gain entry to the cyst cavity in terms of the efficacy of the treatment and the rates of early and late complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Seldinger technique by non-urology trained (NUT) doctors for difficult male indwelling urinary catheter (IDC) insertions. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 115 patients and 57 participating NUT doctors were recruited by the urologist or urology registrar, when contacted in regards to failed IDC insertion. The successful passage of an IDC by the NUT doctors using the Seldinger technique with a straight, hydrophilic guidewire was assessed in our prospective, multicentre evaluation. Instruction of this technique was via bedside teaching by the urology registrar or via video media. RESULTS The 115 patients, involving 57 NUT doctors, were prospectively evaluated across four sites; 93% (107/115) of cases had successful placement of an IDC with the Seldinger technique by a NUT doctor. No complications with the Seldinger technique were recorded. In 80 patients (69.6%), the technique was successfully performed by a NUT doctor without attendance by a urologist or urology registrar, with instruction provided from video media or prior bedside teaching by the urology registrar. CONCLUSIONS Our study is the first to validate the safety and effectiveness of the Seldinger technique for difficult male IDC insertion performed by NUT doctors. This technique can be taught via video education and thus has important implications for health services where urological support is not readily available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Device implantation is an integral part of interventional cardiology particularly electrophysiology. In this study, we are going to shear our experience of device implantation technique at electrophysiology department Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. METHODS The study was conducted from June 2011 to December 2015. Axillary vein was used to implant the devices but in some cases when this rout was not convenient due to any reason then subclavian vein was entered through the Seldinger technique. Fluoroscopy time was less than 10 minutes and total procedure time was not more than 45 minutes. Electric cautery was used only in two cases. Pressure dressing was used in a few cases. RESULTS Total numbers of permanent pacemakers (PPM) remain 800 during the study period. There were 450 single chamber pacemakers and 350 dual chambers pacemakers. No case of any major bleeding was documented and in very few cases there was mild ooze from the procedure site after the operation which was tackled with pressure dressing. Four cases of pneumothorax were noted during the study period and in three cases chest intubation were done and one patient was kept on conservative management. Patient were followed after one moth of discharge from the hospital and then yearly. Eight cases of lead dislodgment were documented during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Axillary vein approach for implantation of permanent pacemakers is a safe and less time-consuming technique.

Abstract
Background and Aims: The external jugular vein (EJV), often used for resuscitation, has been underutilised for central venous catheterisation (CVC) in view of an unpredictable success rate. There is an encouraging literature on the improved success rate of CVC through EJV with the inclusion of certain body manoeuvres. This prospective randomised controlled study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of body manoeuvres in improving the success rate of CVC through EJV. Methods: One hundred patients aged 18–50 years, scheduled for elective surgery requiring CVC, were randomly assigned to either undergo CVC using Seldinger technique with body manoeuvres or a control group undergoing CVC without body manoeuvres. The primary outcome was the success rate of CVC, as observed in the post-procedure chest radiograph. Secondary outcomes included quality of central venous pressure waveform, catheterisation attempts, total time for CVC, complications. Results: CVC was achieved in 98% (49/50) of patients in study group and 80% (40/50) of patients in control group (P = 0.008). Mean catheterisation time was significantly lower in the study group (151.06 ± 40.50 s) compared to control group (173.50 ± 50.66 s) (P = 0.023). The incidence of catheter misplacement and failure to cannulate were lower in the study group (0%, 2% vs. 20%, 12.5%, respectively). Groups did not differ in a number of catheterisation attempts and incidence of haematoma. Conclusion: Inclusion of various body manoeuvres to Seldinger technique significantly improves the success rate of CVC through EJV.

Abstract
There are three less frequent manifestations of acute massive venous thrombosis and obstruction of the venous drainage of an extremity. They are phlegmasia alba dolens, phlegmasia cerulean dolens (PCD), and venous gangrene. The term PCD differentiates ischemia-associated massive venous thrombosis from phlegmasia alba dolens, which describes fulminant venous thrombosis without ischemia. We present a 55-year-old hypertensive, who presented with paedal oedema and breathlessness at rest. About a month prior to this admission, she suffered dislocation of left patella. She was treated with a plaster cast and immobilization for 3 weeks. Her serum creatinine was 8.8 mg/dL. She was initiated on haemodialysis via two single-lumen catheters placed in left femoral vein. The femoral vein catheters were removed after third session of haemodialysis. On fourth day, the patient complained pain and blue discolouration of left toes. On examination, the left lower limb was swollen, discoloured, and cold with blebs up to upper one-third of left leg. The left dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries were not palpable. A Doppler of veins of lower limb revealed, thrombosis of deep, and superficial venous system of left lower limb. As there was no response to anticoagulation below, knee amputation was performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is among the most common procedures performed in children in the hospital setting. PICC insertion can be simplified with the use of a sheathed needle as an alternative to the modified Seldinger technique. OBJECTIVE To retrospectively evaluate PICC placement for the technique used and the incidence of complications at a large pediatric tertiary care center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all PICC placements at a single institution over a 4-year period. We reviewed patient records for demographic data, PICC placement technique, catheter size and number of lumens, and the incidence of complications (i.e. multiple attempted puncture sites, phlebitis and vessel thrombosis). We analyzed complication rates between two placement techniques using a chi-square test. RESULTS We identified 8,816 successful PICC placements, 4,749 (53.9%) in males and 4,067 (46.1%) in females. The average age of the patients for which a line was placed was 5.6 years (range 1 day to 45 years). A direct sheathed needle puncture technique was used in 8,362 (94.9%) placements and a modified Seldinger technique was used in 454 (5.1%). Complications occurred in 312 (3.7%) of direct sheathed needle puncture placements versus 17 (3.7%) of modified Seldinger placements (P = 0.99). Multiple puncture sites were required in 175 (2.1%) attempted direct sheathed needle puncture placements compared with 8 (1.7%) attempted modified Seldinger placements (P = 0.63). Phlebitis occurred in 94 (1.1%) direct sheathed needle puncture lines versus 5 (1.1%) modified Seldinger placed lines (P = 0.96). Vessel thrombosis occurred in 43 (0.5%) direct sheathed needle puncture lines versus 4 (0.9%) modified Seldinger placed lines (P = 0.30). CONCLUSION The direct peel-away sheathed needle vessel puncture technique and the modified Seldinger technique used to place PICC lines in children have similar complication rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE Submental intubation is widely accepted as a safe and effective alternative to nasal intubation or tracheostomy in head and neck surgery patients. Forceful or careless technique can cause significant bleeding and trauma to the soft tissues at this point, increasing the likelihood of troublesome sublingual haematoma. METHODS We describe the use of a percutaneous tracheostomy horn (Cook Medical Blue Rhino®) to allow minimally traumatic submental intubation without the need for serial dilations. A patient with severe midfacial injuries requiring surgery was intubated via a standard oral technique. Following this, submental access was achieved using a novel dilational technique with a tracheostomy dilator. This resulted in a very secure and safe submental intubation and unrestricted access to the entire surgical field. RESULTS The single instrument, one-pass dilation technique to achieve submental intubation was found to be easy, quick, and avoided excessive trauma to the floor of mouth. CONCLUSION Patients will sometimes require a protected airway that allows surgeons unrestricted and simultaneous access to the dental occlusion, oral cavity, midface, and nose. In our case, this simple, easy, and quick adaptation of an established technique using a tracheostomy dilator is an excellent alternative to the traditional blunt dissection used to achieve submental intubation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dynamic ultrasound guidance reduces complications associated with central venous catheter placement. However, successful central venous cannulation often remains challenging, particularly in hypotensive patients. The new wire-in-needle (WIN) technique can further increase periprocedural safety. Here, a needle is "preloaded" with a guidewire that is then advanced toward the tip of needle. The vein is then cannulated using long-axis ultrasound guidance. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and safety profile of the WIN technique. METHODS Medical students, and resident and attending physicians participated in this study. After a brief lecture and practice session on the WIN technique, they underwent a skills assessment evaluating different aspects of both techniques. Participants then completed a survey assessing their prior experience regarding procedural ultrasound, and their assessment of the WIN technique. RESULTS Sixty clinicians participated. The assessment of both techniques revealed no significant differences in the number of needle redirections, cannulation attempts, number of arterial punctures, or overall dexterity with the procedure. The WIN technique was faster (45.9 vs. 61.5 s, p = 0.0005) than the traditional technique. More participants confirmed the accurate position of the guidewire in the vein (75% vs. 95%, p = 0.002). More than 90% of study participants met the predefined safety aspects of the WIN technique. Almost all participants reported that they plan on using the WIN technique in their clinical practice. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that the WIN technique can be learned quickly and easily by clinicians with various levels of training. In this study, using manikins, it was as successful and safe as the traditional short-axis approach.

Abstract
The central venous catheter (CVC) is a catheter placed into a large vein in the neck [internal jugular vein (IJV)], chest (subclavian vein or axillary vein) or groin (femoral vein). There are several situations that require the insertion of a CVC mainly to administer medications or fluids, obtain blood tests (specifically the "central venous oxygen saturation"), and measure central venous pressure. CVC usually remain in place for a longer period of time than other venous access devices. There are situations according to the drug administration or length of stay of the catheter that specific systems are indicated such as; a Hickman line, a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line or a Port-a-Cath may be considered because of their smaller infection risk. Sterile technique is highly important here, as a line may serve as a port of entry for pathogenic organisms, and the line itself may become infected with organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococci. In the current review we will present the complication of pneumothorax after CVC insertion.

Abstract
Pigs are used for long-term biomedical experiments requiring repeated injections, infusions and collections of blood samples. Thus, it is necessary for vascular catheters to be indwelling to avoid undue stress to the animals and the use of restraints. We propose a refined model of percutaneous insertion of long-term central venous catheters to minimize the surgical trauma and postoperative complications associated with catheter insertion. Different sizes of needles (18 Ga versus 21 Ga) for initial puncture of the veins were compared. In conventional pigs weighing less than 30 kg, catheter insertion may be facilitated by using a microintroducer set with a 21 Ga needle. In pigs weighing 50 kg, a standard 18 Ga needle may be preferable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters can present challenges to emergency physicians in the process of central venous catheter (CVC) placement. CASE REPORT A 68-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with severe shortness of breath and was intubated. A central line was placed after the intubation to facilitate peripheral access. A CVC guidewire unraveled during placement after getting caught on an IVC filter. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Emergency physicians should be aware of the complications that IVC filters can cause in the placement of CVCs. Imaging and identification of IVC filters beforehand will allow for proper planning of how to manage the case in which a filter catches on the guidewire. Simple anecdotal techniques, such as advancing the guidewire and spinning the guidewire between the fingers, can facilitate the removal of the guide wire from the IVC filter.

Abstract
Central venous catheterization occupies an important place in the treatment of end stage renal disease pending the creation of an arteriovenous fistula. However, this procedure is not devoid of complications. We report a case of late pneumomediastinum revealed by an acute pulmonary edema in a young patient on hemodialysis, and we discuss its characteristics.

Abstract
In vascular interventional radiology, procedures generally start with the Seldinger technique to access the vasculature, using a needle through which a guidewire is inserted, followed by navigation of catheters within the vessels. Visual and tactile skills are learnt in a patient apprenticeship which is expensive and risky for patients. We propose a training alternative through a new virtual simulator supporting the Seldinger technique: ImaGiNe (imaging guided interventional needle) Seldinger. It is composed of two workstations: (1) a simulated pulse is palpated, in an immersive environment, to guide needle puncture and (2) two haptic devices provide a novel interface where a needle can direct a guidewire and catheter within the vessel lumen, using virtual fluoroscopy. Different complexities are provided by 28 real patient datasets. The feel of the simulation is enhanced by replicating, with the haptics, real force and flexibility measurements. A preliminary validation study has demonstrated training effectiveness for skills transfer.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of drainage of an abscess cavity using the Seldinger technique for the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis.
METHODS: Twenty patients diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis were treated by drainage of the abscess cavity using the Seldinger technique.
RESULTS: Symptoms in 17 patients were alleviated after 2 to 8 d; the amylase levels in blood and urine decreased to normal levels in these patients. One patient died, while the other two left the hospital due to financial reasons. The death rate was 5.89%.
CONCLUSION: Drainage of abscess cavities using the Seldinger technique is an effective non-surgical treatment for severe acute pancreatitis.
