Super-selection intubation can not only significantly improve the efficacy of peripheral intervention treatment, but also greatly reduce surgical complications. However, during the treatment of peripheral vascular intervention (such as liver tumor arterial chemotherapy embolism, hemoptysis bronchial arterial embolism, gastrointestinal hemorrhagic gastrointestinal arterial embolism, etc.), vascular mutation is often large, and there are many branches, and the direction of blood flow is into the direction of blood flow, the horns are even reverse, and even the use of straight-headed microstructures will have difficulty interpolation difficulties or even failure, which increases the risk of surgery and affects safety treatment. To overcome this, pre-plasticized microcatheters have emerged, among which the InstantPass Swan-Neck Microstructure is a catheter with a head-end morphology similar to Cobra. Our research aims to explore the feasibility, safety, and technical advantages of the use of swan-neck microcatheter in peripheral vascular hyperboloid intubation. Materials and Methods: From January 2023 to March 2024, 31 patients with swan-neck microstructure were used in the peripheral vascular intervention therapy outside the hospital. Among them, there were 23 men and 8 women, aged 32 - 81 years old, an average (55 ± 13) years, and the average irradiation time was 35.1 ± 24.7 minutes. 10 cases of iodide oil arterial chemotherapy embolism, 7 cases of microspheres of hepatic arteries, 3 cases of gastric duodenal artery selective embolism, 3 cases of vein embolism with esophageal stomach, and 2 cases of sperm varicose vein embolism, 2 cases of selective embolism of the intestinal membrane, 2 cases of uterine arteries embolism, and 2 cases of renal arterial embolism. 11 of these patients switched to the swan-neck microstructure after using the straight-headed microstructure super-selective intubation. To analyze whether the swan-neck microcatheter is successfully transported to the target location, whether it can provide a satisfactory path for subsequent intravascular treatment, evaluate the surgery instant image results and complications related to the microstructure during the surgery period, analyze the angle of the target blood vessels and the main blood vessels, the target blood vessels, the target blood vessels, the relationship between the degree of pedestrian and the success rate of ultra-selective intubation, and summarize the indication of the application of the swan-neck microstructure in peripheral intervention therapy. Results: In this study, 31 patients used 31 swan-neck microcatheters, of which 22 (70.9%) target vascular and main blood vessels were ≤90˚;17 patients (54.8%) patients were curved and angulated;11 cases (35.5%) were after the failure of the superselective intubation of the straight-headed microstructure, the swan-neck microcatheter was successful after the failure;1 case (3.2%) patients with microstructure-related mezzanine occurred during surgery, and the complication rate of the perioperative ductation was 3.2%. All target lesions are finally successfully completed, and the success rate of surgical technology is 100%. Conclusion: Swan-neck microcatheters have a high success rate in superselective cannulation of peripheral blood vessels and perform well in vascular tortuosity and angulated lesions.展开更多

However, this argument can be proved to be false from five respects:the different periods of Yeats's Poems;Yeats's life experience;the form of the poem;the tone of the poem;and its historical situation and Yeats's attitude toward the situation. Hence a poem should be inter-preted by returning to the text and should not be over-interpreted without taking into account its situation and related factors .展开更多
