Remodelling of coronary arteries

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2009
A 70-year-old man presented with a 6 month history of grade II exertional chest tightness. At peak exercise on treadmill he developed borderline ST segment depression in lead V4. Cardiac catheterisation showed angiographically minor stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (fig 1).

Computed Tomography‐ and Photoacoustic Imaging‐Active Bioresorbable Electrospun Bismuth Nanoparticle‐Infused Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A polymeric graft loaded with radiopaque bismuth nanoparticles is expected to undergo gradual polymer resorption and nanoparticle release. This design enables noninvasive, multimodal monitoring of device integrity, patency, and degradation using computed tomography alongside ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging over 12 weeks.

Cross‐Scale Hierarchical Targeted Delivery System Based on Small‐Scale Magnetic Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article reviews a cross‐scale hierarchical targeted delivery system that integrates magnetic continuum robots and magnetic microrobots. By combining rapid long‐range navigation with precise microscale targeting, the system overcomes key limitations of single‐scale approaches.

Can thrombolytic therapy provide beneficial effects additional to epicardial coronary artery recanalization? A study based on coronary pressure measurement

open access: yes, 2002
Background Collaterals provide significant blood supply to the myocardium at risk and the presence of a preserved and adequate collateral network may limit microvascular damage during the occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery.
