Percutaneous biopsy is a minimally invasive technique that yields a high diagnostic accuracy at a relatively low cost in musculoskeletal lesions, especially tumors and infection. In this article, technical refinements improving the results of percutaneous biopsy of musculoskeletal lesions are reviewed, especially the type of radiological guidance, the different biopsy needles available, and the technique of approach depending on the lesion site. Reported complications, results, and indications of musculoskeletal percutaneous biopsy are also discussed.

Vertebroplasty has shown excellent analgesic effects in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. In Japan, percutaneous vertebroplasty, balloon kyphoplasty, and vertebral body stenting are commonly performed. All of these techniques require precise transpedicular vertebral puncture and complete cement filling without leakage.

Formerly termed or , core muscle injury (CMI) encompasses abnormality of structures within the so-called core, which is essentially the hip, abdomen, and pubis. Compared with data on image-guided procedures of other joints, information regarding procedures performed to address CMI and other disorders of the pubic symphysis is lacking. These procedures can be daunting given the joint's small size, surrounding critical neurovascular structures, and three-dimensional anatomy.

Background: Texture analysis has the potential to deliver quantitative imaging markers. Patients receiving computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous bone biopsies could be characterized using texture analysis derived from CT. Especially for breast cancer (BC) patients, it could be crucial to better predict the outcome of the biopsy to better reflect the immunohistochemistry status of the tumor.

Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is one of the most significant complications following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Ferroptosis is a novel cell death mode characterized by iron overload and lipid peroxidation. However, the role of ferroptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) regulating neointimal formation during restenosis remains unclear.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases and cancer are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Patients with malignancies are at increased risk for cardiovascular complications including acute coronary syndromes, chemotherapy or radiation therapy related complications and cardiac metastasis.
Case Summary: We present a case of a 47-year-old female with metastatic cancer on immunotherapy presented with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction followed by emergent percutaneous coronary intervention in the left anterior descending artery.
