Newly prepared titanium alloy (Ti-13Zr-13Nb (TZN)) using powder metallurgy is considered in this investigation. Titanium alloys (TZN) are used in hip and knee replacement for orthopedic implants. Conventional machining, TZN alloys produce higher tool wear rate and poor surface quality, but this can be reduced by Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) method.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors for postoperative delirium and the impact of delirium on mortality and morbidity following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
