Double-J stents are used to treat ureteric outflow obstruction. Deployed in antegrade or retrograde fashion, they relieve ureteric obstruction in several conditions including ureteric calculi, strictures and malignancy. Traditionally exchanged in an operating theatre (OT) under general anaesthetic (GA), more recently described is the technique of u...

Patients with severe symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are often deemed ineligible for surgical valve repair due to comorbidities. In this setting, transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is undergoing development, but delivery technique and prosthesis design have yet to be optimized. We sought to assess the challenges of TTVR and t...
