This paper introduces heparin-functionalized elastomeric nanofibrillar grafts that meet three key requirements for vascular grafts: mechanical tuning, cell support, and thromboresistance, showing promising in vitro and pilot in vivo results.

This study determines Nitinol material properties of 11 peripheral stents using inverse computational analysis and finds significant variation in elasticity and transformation stresses across devices.

This study characterizes luminal gains and damage after balloon angioplasty in human femoropopliteal arteries with varying calcium burdens using imaging, histology, and mechanical testing.
