Extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma which occurs in all head and neck regions is extremely rare. Unlike most angiofibromas which show nasal congestion and recurrent epistaxis as their symptoms, extranasopharyngeal angiofibromas (ENAF) may lead to various symptoms depending on their location. Nasal septum is the most frequent site of origin of ENAF. No study of ENAF originating in natural ostium of maxillary sinus has been reported. We present a case of 27-year-old male who has extranasophar- yngeal angiofibroma arising from the natural ostium of maxillary sinus in an adult patient whose symptom was right sided nasal obstruction. With this study, although uncommon, angiofibroma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patient with mass lesion in the middle nasal meatus.

Patients with coronary artery disease undergoing trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often receive TAVI alone. However, in cases of severe coronary lesions or anticipated difficulty in coronary access post-TAVI, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting may be necessary. We performed simultaneous gastroepiploic artery to posterior descending artery bypass and TAVI in two patients with severe calcification of the right coronary artery ostium which is unsuitable for percutaneous intervention.

Background: In patients with acute acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) requiring emergency surgery, the use of aortic root repair or replacement remains a topic of controversy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early and mid-term clinical outcomes after aortic root repair or replacement, and to provide a theoretical basis for such patients.
Methods: The study included 442 consecutive patients with ATAAD who underwent aortic root repair [n=227, repair group (RG)] or the Bentall procedure [n=215, Bentall group (BG)] at our hospital between December 2018 and December 2021.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed early and late implant failure rates following one-stage lateral sinus floor elevation (LSFE) in patients between January 2014 and December 2021, involving 618 patients and 936 implants.
- Cumulative implant survival was found to be high at 95.62%, with identified risk factors such as ≤3 mm residual bone height (RBH) linked to increased early failures and smoking and certain implant brands linked to late failures.
- Findings suggest that while one-stage LSFE is generally successful for atrophic maxilla treatment, specific factors like low RBH and smoking significantly raise failure risks.
