The following technologies have been assessed:

• Cobalt-chrome external stent Vest 2.0 by Vascular Graft Solution for patients undergoing a coronary artery bypass graft procedure for the treatment of severe arteriosclerotic coronary artery disease;
• Removable percutaneous interspinous fusion device QFusion by Techlamed for patients affected by neurogenic claudication due to symptomatic stenosis of the vertebral canal associated with instability and who are not candidates for open surgery due to contraindications or comorbidities.
