Article Abstract
The concept of endoscopic lumen apposition has seen a dramatic shift in the last several decades. Early natural orifice trans-luminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) concepts have transformed into specialized lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) and delivery devices, which provide endoscopists a minimally invasive alternative to surgical intervention. These LAMSs have become the bedrock of therapeutic endoscopy and provide treatment for a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders. In this review, we summarize the changing landscape of therapeutic endoscopy by highlighting the use of LAMS and future directions as well as alternative devices to achieve lumen apposition.

Department of Neurosurgery, Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Division, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Background: The Pipeline Vantage 027 flow diverter became available a year ago in the United States. We report an observational study of its safety and early angiographic response in the treatment of internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms.
Methods: All patients treated with the Vantage 027 for ICA aneurysms from April to November 2024 at a single center were included.

Bioresorbable braided stents represent a promising solution for the treatment of peripheral artery disease, providing temporary mechanical support before gradually degrading into biocompatible byproducts. Previous studies have highlighted their lower mechanical performance compared to permanent metallic stents. However, their implantation in lower limb arteries remains unexplored, leaving uncertainty on whether their mechanical performance is sufficient for effective treatment.

Sahajanand Medical Technologies Limited, Surat, India.
Background: Few studies have addressed the early healing pattern of ultrathin strut drug-eluting stents implanted specifically for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
Aims: This study employed optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess neointimal coverage and vascular healing following implantation of ultrathin biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: The OCIMI study was a prospective, single-center investigation of 23 STEMI patients treated with Supraflex Cruz SES (Sahajanand Medical Technologies Ltd.
3D Distance-color-coded Assessment of PCI Stent Apposition via Deep-learning-based Three-dimensional Multi-object Segmentation.
IEEE Trans Med Imaging
June 2025
Coronary artery disease poses a significant global health challenge, often necessitating percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. Assessing stent apposition is crucial for preventing and identifying PCI complications leading to in-stent restenosis. Here we propose a novel three-dimensional (3D) distance-color-coded assessment (DccA) for PCI stent apposition via deep-learning-based 3D multi-object segmentation in intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT).

Signum Surgical Limited New Docks, Port of Galway, Galway, Ireland.
Background: This is the first in human assessment of the BioHealx® assisted fistula treatment (BAFT) procedure for the primary healing rate of non-branching transsphincteric fistula in ano. The BAFT procedure consists of compression apposition closure of the lumen of the fistula tract from the internal opening across the transsphincteric length of the fistula tract with a bioabsorbable implant (BioHealx device) and distal fistulectomy. This medium-term follow-up study assesses the healing and functional outcome at the last follow-up (12-40 months; average 23.
