Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a common treatment for severe aortic stenosis (AS), but it carries the risk of severe complications, including device embolization. We present a case of a TAVR valve embolization into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), diagnosed with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) shortly after device deployment. The dislodged valve was successfully retrieved from the LVOT into the aorta, flattened, and stabilized with a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) stent, enabling the successful implantation of a new TAVR valve.

Patients And Methods: All patients who underwent cognitive transperineal prostate biopsy of mpMRI targets using the PP or DFH technique between November 2020 and September 2023 were enrolled. All data related to mpMRI target biopsies were stratified by technique, visibility in transrectal ultrasound and analysed by comparing PP versus DFH.

Objectives: to investigate the capability of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([F]-FDG PET/CT) derived volumetric parameters to predict human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status in breast cancer patients.
Methods: retrospective study enrolled 47 female patients with breast cancer. All patients had pretreatment [F]-FDG PET/CT.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate possible hormonal changes following microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) across three referral centers.
Materials And Methods: We prospectively analyzed data from 102 consecutive NOA men. Patients with prior hormonal therapies were excluded.

Objective: To assess the safety and long-term effectiveness of minimally invasive approach in managing "oldest old" endometrial cancer patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort, multi-institutional study. Consecutive patients, treated between 2000 and 2020, with apparent early-stage endometrial cancer patients, aged ≥85 years.
