- [IRIS Projects - Tab 2](https://stanfordiris.com/?elementor_library=iris-projects-tab-2) - Biodegradable Stents Vascular stents play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and patency of injured or compromised blood vessels, ensuring essential blood flow to tissues and organs. However, traditional stents are typically permanent solutions, which can pose significant challenges, especially for pediatric patients. As children grow, these fixed-size stents can become inadequate, leading to
- [IRIS Projects - Tab 3](https://stanfordiris.com/?elementor_library=iris-projects-tab-3) - Neuromodulation Neuromodulation endovascular devices are innovative tools designed to target specific nerves in the brain that can control bodily functions and hence possess significant potential for recovery after stroke. These minimally invasive devices are delivered through blood vessels into the brain, where they can either send gentle electrical signals to nerves. By influencing how these
