: In the presence of porcelain aorta (PA), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a class I therapeutic indication for the treatment of severe aortic valve stenosis. To date, few studies have analyzed the clinical outcomes of TAVR in PA patients. We aim to analyze the calcification patterns of the thoracic aorta in PA patients and to evaluate their clinical implications for TAVR procedures.

Introduction: Assessment of functional capacity is an essential part of peri-operative risk stratification. Subjective functional capacity is easier to examine than objective tests of patient fitness. However, the association between subjective functional capacity and postoperative outcomes has not been established.

This study evaluates the feasibility of Apple Vision Pro goggles as an augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation tool for laparoscopic-assisted ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors. Traditional RFA is effective but challenging due to the integration of multiple imaging modalities. The primary aim of this research is to assess how Vision Pro goggles can enhance the surgical navigation process during RFA, improving tumor localization and the overall effectiveness of the procedure.

Currently, recommended pre-operative risk assessment models including the revised cardiac risk index (RCRI) are not very effective in predicting postoperative myocardial damage after non-elective surgery, especially for elderly patients. This study aimed to create a new risk prediction model to assess myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) in elderly patients and compare it with the RCRI, a well-known pre-operative risk prediction model. This retrospective study included 370 elderly patients who were over 65 years of age and had non-elective surgery in a tertiary hospital.
