In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the urgency of coronary revascularization through
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is paramount, offering notable advantages over …

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease and resultant intracranial stenosis is a global leading
cause of stroke, and poses an ongoing treatment challenge. Among patients with …

Objectives To examine the 16-year developmental history, research hotspots, and emerging
trends of zinc-based biodegradable metallic materials from the perspective of structural and …

BACKGROUND: Treatment of occluded vessels can involve angioplasty, stenting, and
bypass grafting, which can be limited by restenosis and thrombosis. Drug-eluting stents …

Drug-eluting stents (DES) play a crucial role in treating coronary artery disease (CAD) by
preventing restenosis. These stents are coated with drug carriers that release …

Cardiac medical devices (CMDs) are required when the patient's cardiac capacity or activity
is compromised. To guarantee its correct functionality, the building materials in the …

We aimed to characterize the performance and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) in complex, high-risk indicated procedure (CHIP) and high-bleeding-risk (HBR) …

In silico studies to perform structural analyses of coronary stenting have attracted the
attention of many researchers in the last 25 years. As a consequence, the finite element …

Background The use of drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) remains clinically relevant in the
contemporary era of drug-eluting stent percutaneous coronary interventions (DES-PCI) …

Engaging intracoronary imaging (IC) techniques such as intravascular ultrasound or optical
coherence tomography enables the precise description of vessel architecture. These …
