Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Impact of adjustable resistance clamps on the in-vitro hemolysis assessment of blood pumps

Scientific Reports
Adjustable resistance clamps are essential to regulate flow and pressure in in-vitro test loops designed to evaluate hemolysis in blood pumps. However, their contribution to overall hemolysis remains unclear.

Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.

Exploratory proof-of-concept study and failure mode analysis of a dual-lumen stent graft for transapical off-pump LVAD implantation

Scientific Reports
Transapical off-pump implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) requires a separate inflow cannula and outflow graft. This study represents the first exploratory proof-of-concept evaluation of a dual-lumen stent graft designed to redirect ...

Photogrammetric Reconstruction of 3D Human Anatomical Structures and Augmented Reality via Smartphone Technology

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited access to cadavers necessitates the availability of digital resources for anatomy education. Smartphone‐based photogrammetry offers a promising solution for creating three‐dimensional (3D) and augmented reality (AR) models. This study compared two mobile photogrammetry applications (Qlone and Polycam) that have been used in modern ...

The Impact of Aging on the Anatomical Course of the Azygos Vein: A Retrospective, Computed Tomography Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azygos vein (AV) is typically described as ascending vertically to the right of the vertebral column before arching anteriorly to drain into the superior vena cava. However, a small number of studies suggest that it is found leftward in older adults.

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.
