The evaluation of the bone, using several techniques and on several aspects will be the purpose to study the possible impact of the kidney transplant (and, extensively, the pre-transplant dialysis, the organ replacement and the immunosuppressive therapy) could have on the bone metabolism and on the density of the bone where the implants are placed. The assessment on the bone density only in a retrospectively selected population that underwent the same surgical procedure will help the comparison of the data to get a satisfactory conclusion. The evaluation of other clinical and instrumental parameters in the test group makes the kidney-transplant patients bone quality clear, and will consequently demonstrate if implants are a feasible therapy for these patients.
The ESA is currently preparing a guideline on the management of postoperative delirium (POD), which attempts to reduce the impact of postoperative delirium and provide recommendations for prevention, diagnostics and treatment of delirium outside the intensive care unit.

Pilot interventional study, without drug, randomized 1: 1, open-label comparison of efficacy and safety between the technique of percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty without rapid ventricular pacing vs valvuloplasty during rapid ventricular pacing (using a temporary pacemaker device with CE mark). It is expected to enroll 100 patients. Randomization is done through a dedicated computer program.
