Numerous studies have confirmed the predictability of dental implants used for the replacement of a single missing tooth. Successful application of this surgical protocol is still technique sensitive and should be executed only by experienced restorative teams. Factors such as implant stability, implant design, immediate loading, provisionalization, and various others have a direct influence on...

This case describes a successful percutaneous stent implantation to critical stenosis of the right ventricle outflow tract in a female neonate with tetralogy of Fallot. At the time of the procedure she had poor development of the pulmonary arteries (McGoon and Nakata index 1.45 and 120, respectively). Stent implantation ensured an immediate increase in oxygen saturation level, and the physiolog...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a highly effective procedure in selected patients with severe degenerative aortic valve stenosis at high risk for conventional surgery. Coronary occlusion is a periprocedural life-threatening complication that despite its low frequency (˂1%) is poorly predictable and requires immediate diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we report a coronary obstru...

Very late bare-metal stent (BMS) thrombosis is unusual in clinical practice. To the best of our knowledge, the latest that the thrombosis of a BMS has been reported is 14 years after implantation. Here, we describe a case of BMS thrombosis that occurred two decades after stenting. A 68-year-old male patient was admitted with acute anterior myocardial infarction. This patient had a history of BM...

INTRODUCTION    Stent implantation has become the treatment of choice for native aortic coarctation (CoA) and postsurgical aortic recoarctation (reCoA) in adults and adolescents. OBJECTIVES    This study aimed to compare the immediate and long‑term outcomes of patients with native CoA and postsurgical reCoA who underwent stent implantation in our center. PATIENTS AND METHODS    The data of 136 ...

Background: Dental implants are now regarded as an effective treatment option for replacing missing teeth. The objective was to evaluate the socket shield approach with immediate temporization conventional instantaneous implant utilizing parameters of horizontal and vertical dimensional bone loss, crestal thickness (CBT) pink esthetic score (PES). Methods: This prospective study carried out at ...

The implantation of a knee prosthesis is very common operation but burdened by significant pain in the immediate operating place, after resolution anesthesia [1]. Recent SAARTI guidelines suggest reduction use opioids, commonly used as first-line drugs postoperative analgesia for interventions that cause intense pain, order to reduce adverse effects [2-4].

An 86-year-old woman underwent transfemoral aortic valve implantation (23-mm SAPIEN). She required immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Contrast angiography revealed periaortic blood extravasation (Fig. 1, panel C). Immediate operation revealed an aortic tear in the suprannular position (Fig. 1, panel D) that was repaired with direct suture. A 19-mmMitroflowwas implanted. The patient was di...
