A Comprehensive Meta‐Analysis of Bioadaptor Versus Drug‐Eluting Stents in Randomised Trials With Exploratory Single‐Arm Landmark Analyses

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.
This meta‐analysis evaluated clinical outcomes following coronary bioadaptor implantation compared with drug‐eluting stents. Pairwise analysis of randomised trials showed no significant difference in target‐lesion failure at 1 year. Complementary single‐arm landmark analyses demonstrated low late event rates between 6 and 12 months and 6 and 24 months.

Deployable 3D‐Printed Vascular Stent with Surface‐Catalysed Endogenous Nitric Oxide Generation

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 21, 13 April 2026.
A deployable 3D‐printed vascular stent was fabricated with surface‐catalyzed endogenous nitric oxide generation, representing a promising new direction for stent development. The stent can be remotely controlled by magnetic force in its compressed state and fully deployed at the target site using an untethered heat source, potentially eliminating the ...

RF‐Shielding of Laser‐Cut Venous Stents: Calculations, Simulations, and Experiments

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 2331-2344, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop an analytical model of the RF‐shielding of laser‐cut venous stents for different orientations and stent geometries. Methods Laser‐cut venous stents are modeled as a grid composed of circular and rectangular loops. As these loops are orthogonal they shield different components of the transmit RF field.
