Context: Early detection of peri-implant bone defects is highly important to prevent further bone loss and implant failure.
Aims: This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of three cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems and periapical radiography for detection of fenestration around dental implants.
Methods: Thirty-one titanium implants were placed in the bovine ribs, in which peri-implant fenestration were simulated. Using a round fissure bur, fenestration defects were created in the apical-third region of implants. CBCT and PA radiographs were obtained before and after creating the defects. The results were analyzed using Chi-square test; kappa coefficient; Cochran's Q-test; McNemar's test; and sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value; and receiver operating characteristic curve.
Results: A significant agreement was noted between the two observers in the detection of defect-free samples in all imaging systems ( < 0.05). In detection of samples with defects, a significant agreement was observed between the two observers in use of Cranex three-dimensional and NewTom 3G systems ( < 0.05), but the agreement was not significant for detection of defects in use of Promax 3D ( > 0.05). The results showed no significant difference among the four imaging systems in detection of defect-free samples while the difference was significant among the four groups for detection of defects ( < 0.05). NewTom had the highest sensitivity (75.81%) and specificity (100%) for detection of fenestration.
Conclusions: Within the limitations of CBCT systems different kVp used by different systems, artifacts and noises that influences image quality, difference in diagnostic value of different CBCT systems is due to the differences in type of detector and voxel size. In terms of the type of detector, our results showed that NewTom 3G, which has a higher (kVP) than other systems and the highest accuracy for detection of fenestration.

Objective: Half of re-interventions after fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) are target vessel related. Regarding bridging stent choice, existing data are controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the performance of Advanta V12/iCAST as bridging stent in FB-EVAR.

Stent-graft implantation is a widely recognized method for endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms. In cases where the aneurysm involves the thoracic and abdominal aorta, repair including fenestrated and branched stent grafts provides a viable alternative. This approach, initially reserved for patients unsuitable for open surgery, has become preferred for anatomically appropriate thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Objective: Emergent complex abdominal aortic diseases are challenging to treat. During in situ laser fenestration (ISLF), aortic branches are covered and flow is restored with in situ fenestration of the stent graft, with promising midterm results. This study aimed to expand on the limited body of knowledge of midterm outcomes of ISLF in renovisceral aortic pathology in a multicentre setting.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the focal dilation of the terminal aorta, which can lead to rupture if left untreated. Traditional endovascular aneurysm repair techniques are minimally invasive and pose low mortality rates compared with open surgical repair; however, endovascular aneurysm repair procedures face challenges in accommodating variations in the patient's anatomy. Complex aneurysms are defined when the sac extends past the renal arteries or has an insufficient neck landing zone to deploy a traditional endograft.
