Persistent and recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) represent significant challenges in the management of PHPT. Persistent PHPT is defined as persistence of hypercalcemia following parathyroidectomy (PTX) or the recurrence of hypercalcemia within the first 6 months following surgery. Recurrent PHPT is defined as recurrence of hypercalcemia after 6 months following PTX and requires normalization of serum calcium prior to the recurrence.

Amongst Ewing sarcoma family of tumours, (EFST), cutaneous/subcutaneous Ewing sarcoma are defined as tumours arising from cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue, not invading the underlying aponeurosis. They are rare tumours, with less than 200 patients published. They are typically small tumours (less than 5cm), and can arise at any anatomical location, with a particular tropism for distal, truncal and head/neck locations, compared to classical Ewing sarcoma.

Background: Severe calcification is the morphology most strongly associated with stent underexpansion.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to revise an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived calcium score to predict stent underexpansion in severely calcified lesions (angle >270°) using a point-based system.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in which 250 de novo lesions undergoing OCT-guided stenting, with angiographically visible calcium and optical coherence tomographic maximum superficial calcium angle >270°, not subjected to atherectomy or specialty balloon treatment before stent implantation, were randomly divided into derivation (n = 167) and validation (n = 83) cohorts.

A global treatment algorithm was developed for the endovascular revascularization of femoropopliteal lesions and chronic total occlusions, aiming toward a more standardized approach to endovascular treatment in patients with peripheral artery disease. The following steps are proposed. 1) Evaluation of lesion morphology based on preprocedural imaging by Duplex sonography and intravenous ultrasound for selection of lesion preparation tools.
