Purpose: To investigate the variation trend of the treatment zone (TZ) during 12 months of Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) from the perspective of the treatment zone size (TZS), decentration (TZD) and the weighted Zernike defocus coefficient of the treatment zone (C).
Methods: 94 patients were included in this retrospective study, who were fitted with a 5-curve vision shaping treatment (VST) lens (n = 44) or a 3-zone corneal refractive therapy (CRT) lens (n = 50). The TZS, TZD and C up to 12 months were analyzed.
Results: TZS (F(4,372) = 10.167, P<0.001), TZD (F(4,372) = 8.083, P<0.001) and C (F(4,372) = 7.100, P<0.001) were significantly increased with time during overnight Ortho-K treatment. The TZS increased sharply from 1 week to 1 month of overnight Ortho-K (F = 25.479, P <.001) and stayed smooth then. It showed growing tendency from 6 to 12 months (F = 8.407, P =.005). The TZD (F = 16.637, P <.001) and C (F = 13.401, P <.001) increased significantly until 1 month and kept stable until 12 months (all P>0.05). The univariant linear regression analysis showed that TZS of the last visit was correlated with baseline myopia (β = 0.219, P =.034). Also, the greater final C was correlated with higher baseline myopia (β = -0.589, P<0.001) and higher corneal astigmatism (β = -0.228, P =.007) at the onset of lens wear with the multiple linear regression.
Conclusion: The TZS, TZD and C kept stable after 1 month of Ortho-K while the TZS had an increasing trend after 6 months. Children with higher myopic eyes or higher corneal astigmatism at baseline tended to have smaller TZS and greater C at 12 months.

Introduction: Management of patients with large aortic arch aneurysms who are considered high risk for frozen elephant trunk technique have been challenging, especially when they have a dilated ascending aorta (AA) that precludes total endovascular branched repair (arch BEVAR). A viable option in our armamentarium is wrapping of the AA (AW), and zone 0 Ishimaru TEVAR.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of our aortic database from 2013 to 2024 to select high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysm that had an AW and TEVAR.

This report details the case of an 84-year-old male with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and a dilated right common iliac artery eligible for endovascular treatment. A bifurcated stent graft (Medtronic Endurant IIs) was used to treat the aneurysm. To address the concerns of instability of the right iliac limb, four endoanchors (Heli-FX EndoAnchor, Medtronic) were placed at the distal landing zone to provide additional fixation.

To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the results of the repair of radial tears of the midbody of the complete discoid lateral meniscus (DLM). A 14-year-old female underwent meniscal replacement with autologous tendon transplantation for early re-tear after repair of the radial tear in the midbody of complete DLM. Two years after the tendon transplantation, there was no effusion or swelling, and the patient was able to exercise completely without symptoms.

Background: To investigate the impact of central corneal astigmatism on postoperative visual outcomes in patients with trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: This retrospective study included 278 eyes of 278 patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery with implantation of the trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP). Patients were divided into two groups according to the total corneal refractive power (TCRP) in 3 mm zone centered on the corneal apex: low astigmatism group, TCRP ≤ 0.
