This study shows that early coverage is influenced by stent apposition as well as platform strut characteristics (stent type). At four weeks, NASB struts remained a focus of delayed endothelialisation.

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of hepatic tumors is investigated. Modeling efforts show that it is possible to determine the temperature variation in the tissue depending on the level of RF energy input. Surgeons and radiologists who are performing such procedures may find it useful to view the temperature-time history of the tissue before the actual ablation process.
