The failing dentition of partially edentulous individuals may be used as an initial reference for stackable restrictive surgical guides during full-arch immediate implant placement. The stackable guide option derived from a digital workflow increases the predictability of the performance of bone reduction, immediate implant placement, and immediate loading of provisional implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. The present paper aims to report a practical approach to design and produce a metal framework with occlusal rests to facilitate the use of a tooth-supported surgical guide when full-arch immediate implant placement is indicated in patients with failing dentition.

Implantable hemodynamic devices like the CardioMEMS HF System are commonly used to manage fluid status in patients with heart failure (HF) by measuring pulmonary pressures. Although CardioMEMS has been shown to reduce HF hospitalizations, rare complications (eg, device endothelialization) can occur and warrant clinical attention. A 67-year-old woman with HF with preserved ejection fraction and group 2 pulmonary hypertension experienced recurrent HF exacerbations.

Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is widely performed in routine clinical practice. Achieving LBBAP requires deep insertion of the lead into the interventricular septum. LBBAP may be challenging in patients with a history of open-heart surgery (OHS) because of myocardial fibrosis associated with surgical trauma.

L-transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA) represents a spectrum of congenital heart defects (CHD) associated with atrioventricular block (AVB). However, the incidence and prognosis of postoperative AVB among patients with variants of L-TGA is uncertain. Assess the incidence and risk factors for postoperative AVB requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation for pediatric patients with L-TGA undergoing cardiac surgery.

Introduction: Fournier's gangrene is a severe infection of the perineum and genital regions, with high mortality rate. Treatment is medico-surgical and multidisciplinary, usually requiring extensive debridement of scrotal tissue and distant surgical reconstruction. Regarding scrotal reconstruction, numerous techniques have been described, however, to our knowledge, none has focused on testicular repositioning.

Subdermal contraceptive implants are now commonly used throughout the world. One of the rare complications of these implants is migration to the lungs due to misplacement of the implant during insertion, with only a limited number of cases documented. Here, we present a case where a subdermal contraceptive implant embolised in the subsegmental branch of the pulmonary artery within the anterobasal segment of the left lower lobe.
