Abstract

In article number 1602925, Sei Kwang Hahn and co-workers report a pH-responsive microbubble-eluting theranostic stent for real-time ultrasound imaging of blood vessels implanted with the stent, and dissolution of fat-rich plaques to prevent the blocking of blood vessels. This smart theranostic stent can facilitate non-invasive monitoring and prevent restenosis after stent implantation.
