Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an unusual complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The risk factors are not well understood but may include oversizing, calcification amount and location, left-ventricular chamber morphology, and valve-in-valve (ViV) procedures. Percutaneous treatment is challenging but is usually the preferred option.

Background: The success of dental implants largely depends on the quantity and quality of available bone. Occasionally, it is necessary to perform additional surgical techniques alongside implant placement to increase the available bone volume and ensure the success and survival of treatments. The objective of this study was to evaluate, through cone beam computed tomography, the need for supplementary bone augmentation methods in implant placement.

- Clinical events can occur after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially in complex cases, and using advanced intracoronary imaging and pressure guidewires may help reduce these risks.
- The OPTI-XIENCE study is an international, multicenter prospective observational study involving 1,064 patients with specific high-risk characteristics undergoing stent implantation, monitoring them for 12 months.
- The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using these intracoronary tools, with the primary focus on the rate of target lesion failure after one year, while also assessing additional cardiovascular outcomes.
