Pressure‐Assisted Drug Delivery Using High‐Pressure Balloon Platform Improves Vascular Drug Penetration and Anti‐Restenotic Effects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer high‐pressure drug‐coated balloon (HP@DCB) increased balloon‐wall contact and promoted deeper paclitaxel (PTX) penetration than a conventional noncompliant DCB. In in vivo study, HP@DCB treatment improved luminal patency and reduced neointimal hyperplasia, supporting pressure‐assisted drug delivery as a promising strategy for enhancing the

Extrusion‐Based Bioprinting of Living Bioinks for Tissue and Organ Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Extrusion‐based bioprinting is presented as the most versatile route for fabricating living, heterogeneous tissues. Its ability to combine diverse bioinks, support matrices, and advanced printhead geometries transforms familiar constraints into powerful biofabrication opportunities.

Successful percutaneous balloon dilatation of supravalvular aortic membrane

Heart Views, 2019
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is the least common type of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Primary balloon dilatation of membranous supravalvular aortic stenosis was performed in a 10-year-old male child with a remarkable reduction in systolic

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Lipoprotein(a) in patients with aortic stenosis: Insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundAortic stenosis is the most common age-related valvular pathology. Patients with aortic stenosis and myocardial fibrosis have worse outcome but the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Myocardial extracellular volume quantification by computed tomography predicts outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundThe extent of myocardial fibrosis in patients with severe aortic stenosis might have an important prognostic value. Non-invasive imaging to quantify myocardial fibrosis by measuring extracellular volume fraction might have an important clinical

Counting the cost of premature mortality with progressively worse aortic stenosis in Australia: A clinical cohort study [PDF]

, 2022
Background: Aortic stenosis is the most common cardiac valve disorder requiring clinical management. However, there is little evidence on the societal cost of progressive aortic stenosis.
