Abstract
Panvascular intervention can restore lumen patency, exclude structural defects, or replace diseased valves, but procedural success does not reestablish ecological stability within the treated vessel. We propose eco-rebalancing as a tri-ecological framework in which durable device performance depends on coordinated recovery across three domains: the mechanical, cellular, and physicochemical-immune ecologies. Vascular-device suitcordance denotes the spatiotemporal match between a device's mechanical behavior, biological interface, and material persistence, and the healing trajectory of a specific vascular bed, lesion, and patient; we introduce the Suitcordance Score (Su-Score) as a conceptual metric of that match. This perspective reinterprets restenosis, thrombosis, fibrosis, calcification, and structural degeneration as signatures of incomplete eco-rebalancing, providing a translational basis for device design and patient-device matching.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Molecular Medicine (TMM) aims to offer concise and contextualized perspectives on the latest research advancing biomedical science toward better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. It focuses on research at the intersection of basic biology and clinical research, covering new concepts in human biology and pathology with clear implications for diagnostics and therapy. TMM reviews bridge the gap between bench and bedside, discussing research from preclinical studies to patient-enrolled trials. The major themes include disease mechanisms, tools and technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, with a preference for articles relevant to multiple themes. TMM serves as a platform for discussion, pushing traditional boundaries and fostering collaboration between scientists and clinicians. The journal seeks to publish provocative and authoritative articles that are also accessible to a broad audience, inspiring new directions in molecular medicine to enhance human health.
