• SOV-A is defined as abnormal dilation of the aortic root. • This is a rare entity, with an incidence between 0.14% and 3.5%. • SOV-A rupture is a complication generating fistulous trajectories between cavities. • The sign of “windsock” has been described for the ruptured SOV-A. • We present the case of a ruptured SOV-A in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve.

Objectives: The Ross procedure for aortic regurgitation (AR) and abnormal aortic valve morphologies is associated with an increased risk of autograft dilatation. Autograft support may ameliorate this problem. We analyzed the results for all haemodynamic lesions and the effect of autograft support.

Background: There are few reports about the one-stage surgery of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) + mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) around the world. TAVR + M-TEER surgery is usually performed under the simultaneous guidance of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and echocardiography. There is no report of TAVR surgery assisted only by echocardiography all over the world.

Near-infrared light reflection for the early detection of proximal caries in posterior teeth: an in vivo study.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Stomatology, Affiliated People's Hospital, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of near-infrared light reflection for detecting different depths of proximal caries in posterior teeth and to compare it with commonly used clinical oral examinations and bitewing radiography images.

Methods: Twenty-six patients with a total of 516 proximal surfaces were included in this study. The ground truth of the proximal caries was determined through a consensus reached by two experienced dentists after an intraoral examination assisted by bitewing radiographs.

Negotiation of the intricate pulp canal space may pose a challenge in endodontic treatment. Consequently, appropriate diagnosis and thorough knowledge of the pattern and distribution of root canal systems are imperative for a more predictable outcome in the treatment of pulp diseases. Accordingly, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is deemed appropriate as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in endodontics.
