Transcatheter hemodynamic shunt scaffolds: MarsRecent Research Landscape

Congenital cardiovascular and orthopedic defects require staged anatomical remodeling to avoid invasive revision surgeries. These devices utilize controlled mechanical tension to drive physiological tissue growth and structural elongation.

What technical problems is Mars addressing in Transcatheter hemodynamic shunt scaffolds?

Fixed vessel diameter limitations

(5)evidences

Standard pediatric cardiovascular implants cannot expand to accommodate somatic growth in children. Solving this prevents the need for invasive repeat surgeries as the patient matures.

Inaccurate surgical instrument positioning

(1)evidences

Fixed-geometry implants fail to accommodate diverse patient vascular morphologies or changing physiological pressures. Dynamic adaptability prevents device migration and tissue trauma.
