Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Catheter ablation using radiofrequency energy [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1990 AbstractRecently, transvenous catheter ablation using radiofrequency impulses has been applied in experimental animals as well as in humans. This review describes the biophysics, mechanisms, and tissue effects of radio‐frequency alternating current. Ablation of the AV‐junction has been performed in experimental studies as well as in a growing number of

In vivo dose measurement using TLDs and MOSFET dosimeters for cardiac radiosurgery. [PDF]
, 2012 In vivo measurements were made of the dose delivered to animal models in an effort to develop a method for treating cardiac arrhythmia using radiation. This treatment would replace RF energy (currently used to create cardiac scar) with ionizing radiation.

Catheter Ablation Versus Medical Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2019 BACKGROUND Despite the publication of several randomized clinical trials comparing catheter ablation (CA) with medical therapy (MT) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the superiority of one strategy over another is still questioned by many.

Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.
