Proximal Optimization Technique (POT)is a post-expansion technique that must be completed after single-stent implantation for the coronary bifurcation. The optimal location for the distal balloon shoulder during POT remains debatable. In the present study, the finite element method is applied to simulate POT after single-stent implantation in the coronary bifurcation. Three different balloon locations based on the distal shoulder relative to the carina cut plane were analyzed: 1) "proximal":1mm before carina cut plane; 2) "standard": at the carina cut plane; and 3) "distal": 1 mm after the carina cut plane. The computational results showed differences in stent, vessel morphology, and vessel wall stress due to the different balloon locations. However, when distal balloon shoulder was located between two adjacent stent rings, it formed the distal cell of the stent, the best stent apposition, least stent structs obstruction at SB ostial. Moreover, best opening effect of distal cell of the stent can be achieved, with the least damage to the vessel wall.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women in the United States. Accurate staging is needed to determine prognosis and devise effective treatment plans. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) has made multiple revisions to the tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging system used by the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer to stage lung cancer.

- * Analyzing 111 lesions from 168 patients, the research found three key geometric parameters—SB diameter, BP-CT length, and dPOC—that were significant predictors of SB compromise, with corresponding cutoff values established.
- * The results revealed that as the OCT risk score increased based on these parameters, the likelihood of SB compromise also increased significantly, demonstrating the predictive capability of OCT in this context.

Objective: This study aimed to find the radiographic characteristics for the detection of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and congestive heart failure (CHF) in cats.
Animals: Healthy cats (n = 35) and HCM cats with (21) and without (22) CHF.
Methods: On radiography, the cardiac size using vertebral heart score, left atrium enlargement (LAE), and dilation of the pulmonary vessels were assessed.
The Agreement between Radiography and Fluoroscopy as Diagnostic Tools for Tracheal Collapse in Dogs.

Tracheal collapse is a common disease in small, middle-aged dogs, and imaging tools are essential for its diagnosis. Radiography and fluoroscopy are the main diagnostic modalities used, but their agreement in different regions is not well documented. In this study, the agreement between thoracic radiography and fluoroscopy in tracheal collapse was investigated in 29 dogs.

Purpose: Local impedance (LI) measurement from an ablation catheter is useful in predicting lesion size and acute success of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The LI variation can be described by absolute LI drop (ΔLID) or ΔLID/initial LI (%LID). We evaluated the utility of these parameters in predicting acute lesion durability during PVI using a novel catheter capable of measuring both LI and contact force (CF).
