SEMS contributed to comparable outcomes including postoperative complications, mortality, and long‐term outcomes, but significantly reduced SSI. These findings support the broader adoption of SEMS in clinical practice, particularly requiring minimized invasiveness and improving patient quality of life are prioritized. Abstract Aim A diverting stoma (DS)

This study evaluates the role of elastin in vascular response 28 days after balloon angioplasty using uncoated and paclitaxel‐coated balloons in a healthy porcine model. The results show higher elastin content in external femoral arteries, which is inversely correlated with vascular injury, inflammation, smooth muscle cell loss, proteoglycan and fibrin

“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]
Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.
