Background: The objective of the study was to investigate the hemodynamic changes of the blood flow in the aneurysm model after the multilayer stent placement using the fluid dynamic method, to analyze the effectiveness and properties of the multilayer stent in the treatment of aortic aneurysms.
Methods: A water tank was filled with 5 L of experimental liquid after the circular flow pressure test platform with a glass aneurysm model, and a multilayer stent was built. Pressure at the middle part and the distal aneurysm neck part of the model was then measured. At each site, the pressure was measured 20 times at 1-min intervals, and the testing results were averaged for accuracy.
Results: Without the stent, mean pressure at the middle part and at the distal aneurysm neck part of the model was 11.19 ± 0.23 Kpa and 13.31 ± 0.28 Kpa, respectively. With the stent, the mean pressure decreased to 10.60 ± 0.27 Kpa and 12.60 ± 0.29 Kpa, and the average difference was 0.59 ± 0.15 Kpa and 0.71 ± 0.15 Kpa, respectively.
Conclusions: After the placement of the multilayer stent, pressure inside the model at the middle part and distal neck part could both be diminished, yet the mean dropped pressure may be too small to be sufficient to cause significant impact on preventing the expansion of abdominal aortic aneurysm; therefore, the pressure-lowering effect of the multilayer stent for abdominal aortic aneurysm may not be ideal compared with the traditional covered stents.

Plaque erosion is the second most common cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Small studies using optical coherence tomography (OCT) have shown favorable outcomes in select patients with plaque erosion treated conservatively without stent implantation. Unlike plaque rupture, the role of plaque erosion in the formation of healed plaques and subsequent flow-limiting coronary stenoses is less certain.

Objectives: To analyze and compare, in an animal model, the treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysms with multilayer stents and its hemodynamic effects through the biomechanical and histological analysis of the aortic wall in contact with the stent.
Methods: Large White pigs were randomized into two groups: Stent (n=6) and Control (n=5, non-stent). All animals were subjected to the creation of a suprarenal aneurysm with a bovine pericardial patch.
AVG delamination: a cause of early cannulation arteriovenous graft dysfunction in hemodialysis patients.

Background: A series of cases have reported graft delamination as a rare complication of early-cannulation arteriovenous graft (ecAVG). The unique multilayer structure of ecAVGs contributes to the property of cannulation as early as hours after implantation, but on other hand it takes the risk of graft delamination. However, the underlying mechanism and management of graft delamination as well as its effects on the long-term patency of ecAVGs have not been systemically analyzed.

Rationale: Complex vesicovaginal fistulas (VVFs) with large defects pose significant surgical challenges. Traditional repair methods often require extensive tissue separation and multilayer suturing, risking local blood supply and healing. This study introduces a novel modified transvaginal repair technique that simplifies the procedure while preserving tissue vascularity.

Arterial aneurysms remain a significant public health problem because they often result in death when ruptured; therefore, they require immediate medical treatment. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has recently become the primary treatment option, owing to the fewer side effects compared to those with open surgery. However, stents used for conventional EVAR often cause side-branch occlusion, which alters the perfusion of vital organs.
